heya, One other interesting thing - if I check the /var/log/auth.log file, I see lines:
Failed keyboard-interactive/pam for <username> from 127.0.0.1 port 38428 > ssh2 So it seems like WinSwitch is connecting fine via the Putty tunnel, but then seems to bomb out with the username/password part. However, if I connect via the tunnel using a SSH client, I can authenticate fine using username/password - so not sure what's happening?
