Anyway it seems to work as expected now: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] The authenticity of host 'unixpod.com (12.205.155.236)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is de:a6:3d:d8:09:26:ce:63:67:e6:ec:c8:81:38:a2:0d. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'unixpod.com,12.205.155.236' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Permission denied, please try again. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: So I guess everything is fine now? -- Aditya Manthramurthy B.
