When "ssh host" works but "sftp host" doesn't, where should I look? Both were working before. But I realized that I needed to fix /etc/passwd and /etc/group for another reason, so I did mkpasswd and mkgroup. Then did ssh-host-config again. With that done, now I am happy to see the ssh user finally become the same user as the console user. They were different before. On the flip side, though, sftp doesn't work anymore. I can do "ssh host" just fine. I appreciate your help. J Here is how it doesn't work. ----------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]> sftp -v host Connecting to host...
