Yep.. and having it for a remote situation (Like I live in California and I Have a corporate server in Michigan) can be a real plus. Otherwise the only recourse is to have the guys in Michigan reboot the box and hope that ssh restarts. On a box that you are always in front of (Like a laptop) I'd say it's not so needed... but for a remote server. It can be a godsend. James
