I agree that this should not be a religious war.

How about this Derek, look into Remote Desktop connection first and if that
seems insecure for you, use OpenSSH for Windows from the URL given to you?

OpenSSH supports Blowfish (stronger encryption and faster than 3DES) and
3DES (168 bit encryption).  Of course, it supports DES (56 bit encryption)
but can be easily broken in today's desktop enviroment, while the first two
needs a cluster or NSA computer system.

As is Windows Terminal Services and Remote Desktop.  I would expect
there are more installations of Window Terminal Services on Windows 2000
servers that there are installations of OpenSSH or WinSSH on Windows
2000.  

Greg,  I really don't want to turn this into a religious war.  Derek is
looking for a way to log in remotely to a Windows 2000 server.  I was
trying to give him other options to consider.

Traffic is not encrypted in 3DES or AES.

OpenSSH and Winssh are proven products.

Why not use Remote Destop Connection?  It comes with Windows 2000.

Is there a sshd for Windows (W2K Server is the actual OS) that is 
freely available?  I am doing a senior design project for a class at 
school and I would like a way to log in remotely to the server at the 
company which I am working with (the network admin hasnt even done the

security updates on the webserver, so he is hopeless).  Thanks in 
advance!
