That's a great guess, but I'm using slackware 10.1 on both the client and the server. I assume that the ssh client is the same as I haven't done any updates. OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 on the last wired computer before I reach barn. OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 on barn itself which I reach from a Linksys WAP11 hooked to condor. As you can see, the same version of ssh supposedly. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
