Steps: 1) Just install the port. 2) from your regular box ssh 3) It automatically does all the work and asks for your password. To login to the remote computer, ssh enter passwd Things I observed: the usernames on both machines should be the same. -Satya To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
