Thanks to all who replied.  Next question, how do I give my users similar
functionality when connecting to me from a remote location via secure shell.
I am using Openssh which comes with OpenBSD and am trying to determing the
best client for my Windows NT remote users to connect with.  I need to give
them access to files that reside on our NT servers and since we are a
military installation they won't allow me to simply setup a VPN(Very
Antiquated Mentality Here).

Thanks

Elliott

Hmm -- SSH is *not* an official IETF protocol.  There are drafts, but 
none have been issued as RFCs, as best I can tell.  When they are 
issued, they'd likely be "Proposed Standards".
