Good point!

Agreed - so ssh assumes you want to use the existing shells login
account - unless you want another name - then you would type:

$ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

in which case it still only asks for just a password.


Funnily enough, through kio_fish - when you put:

fish://192.168.10.101

a dialog comes up asking for BOTH name and password - giving the wrong
impression of how it should work.

We appear to be in agreement that it doesn't make sense the way it
presently works.  I will try to contact the developer and see if I can
get him/her to see this.

Thanks,
