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 Unloading hal components Is there no end to this?
