Re: libssh based server

Hi Milo,

Totally appreciate your help towards libssh server side pubkey authentication :)

I haven't worked extensively with libssh but I've been evaluating to
use it to have a ssh server as part of an open source project I'm
working on. The other option is to call sshd and reroute stdin and
stdout. Any thoughts on either approach would be appreciated.

Using libssh to build a server there are two areas that daunt me :

- Pubkey Authentication
- Creating a tunnel and X forwarding.

Going through the libssh server side API
(http://api.libssh.org/master/group__libssh__server.html) the
ssh_handle_key_exchange function stands out as something that could
possibly have bearing on this? This function is part of the newer
libssh and not for the the libssh on my debian testing.

If you could just point me in the right direction on both of the above
would appreciate it :)

Thanks so much.

Bye for now
