Dan GoodinDid you or someone you know work with SSH back in the late 90s and early 2000s? I'd love to get some perspective on something. Please DM me by Signal.
Kevin Lyda@dangoodin as a user, yes. The pre-OpenSSH ssh was not as nice.
How so?
@dangoodin IIRC it didn't support user@host syntax and still did the rsh style -l user host syntax. Couldn't do per-host config.
Bill Ricker@lyda @dangoodin
Concur.
In the 200Xs, I had 2-3 versions of ssh on business desktop (Hummingbird X, MKS TK, Cygwin) plus Unix&Linux vendors' ssh on servers.
(I had MKS TK in '90s but did our servers do ssh? I fear mostly FTP or rsh/rcp still then alas.)

@BRicker @dangoodin thankfully I've never had to use Windows so dodged that problem. It was the original ssh and then switched pretty quickly to OpenSSH once it showed up on Linux. And FreeBSD, Solaris and HP/UX IIRC. Maybe Tru64?
