Anybody know why?No. But using ssh -v might give some clues. One extra potential reason:the target box does not have (the utility) xauth on it.
That was it. I did aptitude install xauth and everything was fine.It looks like the xterm package needs to depend on the xauth package -- or at least recommend it.
What package should a bug report for this go to? Thanks! Rick
