The easiest way to work around this is probably to create an SSH certificate and login via that. You don't ever need NIS running then. Like this (in some temporary directory): ssh-keygen -t dsa -f id_dsa # Probably use an empty passphrase, so that it can be automated. # This will create id_dsa and id_dsa.pub. mkdir /opt/ltsp/i386/root/.ssh cat id_dsa.pub >> /opt/ltsp/i386/root/.ssh/authorized_keys -- Now, move id_dsa to wherever your automated script can access it (but only that one, permissions are 600 by default - ssh will complain if id_dsa is world-visible). Then do, for instance: ssh -l root -i /path/to/id_dsa ws001 killall X If this doesn't work immedeately, have a look at /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/(ssh/?)sshd_config and make sure certificate logins are enabled. // Dag Sverre ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
