I did miss your msg - but see it now.

Hmmmmmm... maybe? I *am* using a pre-compiled cryptlib b/c of an old Ubuntu issue a couple years ago w/ compiling cryptlib under Ubuntu... maybe I'll poke around there first.

I remember we used to deleted the old cert, the reinstall/setup cryptlib to get SSH working under Mystic. Thanks for the infoz... no other Mystic sysops are complaining about SSH dying, but - I did use that precompiled thing. Grrrr.

We've been doing that for years. If I had it to do all over again, of course I'd go w/ Synchronet - but HEAVILY modify it from the ground up, at the code level - but I don't have that luxury. I sure wish g00 would FOSS Mystic so we could make it AWESOME. At this point, its kinda like... cmon, dude.

There are [some] people with huge communities on Mystic software and... well, I guess its his regardless. But that doesn't help people utilizing it in 2026. :/

Shit - it could be vibe coded in a week w/ 1m tokens.
