What's the permissions for the .ssh directory. I had problems in the past if it's not 700. There was an entry in /var/log/messages or its equivalent, stating as such. This would come up on new systems, because I usually had to create the .ssh directory and the umask would cause it to have 755. -- Clayton Scott Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] The software stated it required UNIX System Administrator Microsoft Windows 2000 or higher, FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris & so I installed FreeBSD.
