-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi there!
Thank you very much for your help. I had to do something which I would consider a quick fix: placing my own hostname in /etc/hosts as localhost, i.e. added 'spy' in 127.0.0.1 localhost spy This is not a nice method, I suppose? But who else than me would use ssh to connect to my own computer?
