The version of OpenSSH released as a security fix (ssh_1.2.3-9.2_alpha.deb) breaks RSAAuthentication on Alpha. /var/auth.log says 'connection denied from ....' Everything works fine if I go back to 1.2.3-9.1 Cheers, Scott -------------------- talk21 your FREE portable and private address on the net at http://www.talk21.com
