putty-0.52 and openssh-3.1.0

[M.W.Chang]

Yes. passwordauthenication worked.

But when it comes to keys,
only version 1 (rsa1) worked. all version 2 (rsa, dsa) responded
"No supported authenication method to try"

Using password authenication is no better than exposing telnet.
With keys, that guy must at least steal it from your workstation first.

Is it possiblye to use rsa1 in version 2?
