I've seen lots of messages about using ssh. The xauth man page has the command: xauth extract - $DISPLAY | rsh otherhost xauth merge - This works fine for me, although I change $DISPLAY to machine:0. On my local machine the DISPLAY is just :0, so this doesn't get extracted or merged (I don't know which) in a usable form for the remote machine. Speaking of ssh, is deity supposed to make it easier to use multiple ftp sites? Currently pgp-us is listed as obsolete/local by dselect. Or am I running the update incorrectly? I've been clearing the list of available packages when dselect suggested I do so. -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) Next Level Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
