The release notes at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/4.5R/errata.html imply you can also fix this on the client side by adding the line: PreferredAuthentications publickey,password,keyboard-interactive to your own ~/.ssh/config file (useful if you need to connect to some machine where you can't change the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file). Usually I wouldn't know these things, but I just happened to be reading the errata notes a few minutes ago... :-) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
