Yes, and if you read that discussion about open ssh, you will find the
person also found a solution.
It is part of how shellworld allows me here, and shellworld uses a more
current edition of openssh than dreamhost.
ssh may have moved on in 12 years, but while there are options the aspect
of my body requiring my set up have not, with the synthesis I use computer
wise getting worse in other platforms
not better .
sshdos is open source now which is why I hinted my best door might be
getting it updated. The dhpgg options have already been discussed.
still Mike points out that dreamhost should still let my key in, making it
less about the program and more about something else.
