couple of questions

[Rachit Siamwalla]

This is regarding openssh 2.3.0p1 (the following problem was seen on
Linux client / server):

I have a problem with openssh when i don't "login": ie. i do the
following:

ssh -2 10.1.6.13 echo 0

It doesn't print the "0".

However, i can get it to print the "0" by doing the following:

ssh -2 10.1.6.13 echo 0 \; sleep 1

using "ssh -2 10.1.6.13" logins to the machine fine.

Also keys have already been exchanged (authorized_keys2 has been setup).
Removing authorized_keys2 doesn't seem to change anything (except
password is asked of course).

There seems to be some kind of timing issue here. Has anyone seen this
problem before? A search on the archives turned nothing (although i
can't think of good keywords for this problem :)) At the end of this
message will be the -v / -d output of server / client.

My second question has been asked / answered once on the archive
already, but I'm wondering whether someone in the meantime was able to
get around this problem: I need to be able to convert a F-secure /
ssh.com private key to openssh private key format. (i believe it was
marcus that said that the ssh.com private key format was proprietary and
the thread ended there). However, ssh.com's source code is available
(last i checked), and i was wondering whether someone wrote a program to
do that already. If not, i'll see if its feasable for me to do it myself
(and also whether i will get into any legal issues by doing this). 

(yes i know i can set my ssh_configs so that they only use protocol 2)

Thanx!
