[ale] SSH

I have created a key using ssh-keygen and have executed sshd.  I
successfully connected using putty (ssh and telnet client for winblows).  Is
my session encrypted that easily?  Can someone give me a laymen explanation
as to what happens upon connections that enables the encryption?

Thanks,
Chris

Nope.  I don't know how useable it is yet for other platforms,
but on my OpenBSD 2.6 box it seems to work fine (which is the OS
it was developed for).  It maintains full ssh1 compatibility.
