The password you type will suddenly stop working unless you a) set up your account at WC to accept no-password logins OR b) work with us to get your password registered with kerberos. > PS: Of course, that 'something fundamental' is probably a good dose of RTFM. :-) No - you hit the nail on the head with a large hammer. You just need to figure out hou to make ssh log you in "no-password". Hint: look at ssh-keygen(1). M -- Mark Murray Join the anti-SPAM movement: http://www.cauce.org
