openssh unix dev - Jan 2001 - OPENSSH

Hello!
I'm from Russia and have a one question about openssh:

I killed .ssh directory on client and server, then my ssh -2 become to use
my passwd file. It is fine, but
does openssh use cryptography methods, when it logins with password
(etc/passwd) method, if I don't wont to use key files(DSA)?

Best Regardes, Artem

Yes - if you run ssh with the '-v' flag, it will tell you the algorithm
it uses (likely 3des).
