Not exactly, but it's not supported by your kernel. So it's not that. > ssh -v -l barik 128.61.40.17 > > returns: > > OpenSSH_2.5.2p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090601f > debug1: Seeding random number generator > debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be > trusted. > debug1: ssh_connect: getuid 0 geteuid 0 anon 1 > debug1: Connecting to 128.61.40.17 [128.61.40.17] port 22. > debug1: connect: Invalid argument Eeeww. Could be you missed something configuring your kernel, but I can't think what off the top of my head. You can try running strace on the ssh connection; should be as simple as : strace ssh -v -l ... and seeing what it's doing that gets the Invalid argument error. HTH, Mike McGuire
