        and I believe you need to give the full path name; that's one of the 
        things ii just did.

        well, it works.  im not sure what I did, but no comp;laints!
        I'm running pfSense in a netgear box.  before I rebooted, my
        local IP ended in .114; after and now it moved to .113.  when 
        I did an ssh 10.47.0.113, voila! the new tao requested my password.
        and I was in.  and go ssh back and forth.  Whew!

        thanks for the help, guys.  

        gary

        ps:  I'v got to figure out how to remove gnome and install kde, 
        &c, but  at least that should be easy.
