well, again thanks. hearing that it had worked for others without major issues made me go back over some basics. I had a relatively OLD copy of putty, so i got a newer release. Now, lshd works. Finally, I can do away with the the extra monitor (back to the basement).
anyway, i have one final question. i was thinking of adding a second user to the bering box. (i understand, in theory, it is best to log on as a user, and su to root). so, i found the faq on the leaf site at sourceforge by Charles Steinkuehler and David Douthitt, and followed the instructions. now i have a second user and can log in with it. however, when i tried "su", i got an unkown command response. so, i found an su binary on Charles Steinkuehler's LEAF/LRP Website, added it to /usr/local/bin, and now i have the command. BUT, if i log in as the user and try "su", i get the password prompt, but i always get "su: incorrect password" in reply to my attempt to get to root (i have tried a number of times, i am sure i typed the password correctly). is there something else i need to do make this work? (i had been planning on disabling root-login via lshd if i got this working, but it isn't really that big an issue.) thanks for everyone's help recently. i didn't have this much trouble a year or two ago with LRP, i guess the brain cells are dying off faster than i realized. thanks - ted ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore.
