:-) I appreciate over USB is ok but I'm using over WiFi too.

knc1#7: Do the above files apply for Openssh with usbnet?

What confuses me is: if I generate a new key pair with puttygen, copy to /mnt/base-us/usbnet/etc, reboot and initiate a new ssh session the Kindle fingerprint is not that which puttygen reports the fingerprint should be. I've also tried the public key in ssh_host_rsa_key but this does not work either.

(By work I mean the ssh client giving the same fingerprint reported by puttygen when the keys are generated).
