And the third post down had a partial fix, add  "AddressFamily inet" to 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config, and that error goes away.  But "linuxcnc -l" fails, 
leaving this in linuxcnc_debug.txt:
Can not find -sec MOT -var MOT -num 1
Can not find -sec IO -var IO -num 1
Can not find -sec TASK -var TASK_LD_PRELOAD -num 1
Can not find -sec DISPLAY -var DISPLAY_LD_PRELOAD -num 1
Can not find -sec LINUXCNC -var NML_FILE -num 1
Can not find -sec EMC -var NML_FILE -num 1
23359
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
23411
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
Stopping realtime threads

Is there no end to this?

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene
