Hi Damien (Miller), And compiles fine... (options below) on running, this seemed to be the only issue... debug: Command 'ipcs -a' timed out last and who both report correctly, including the full hostname for who... and probably nothing: debug: tvp!=NULL kid 0 mili 10 bout 50 times while using ssh... and on exit, this error message came up (this has been an issue with solaris for a while, though ssh doesn't seem to care) Cannot delete credentials: Permission denied sshd seems to function correctly otherwise though, and ssh works like a charm as per usual. Thanx for you fine efforts (wish I had the time to go through some of the code myself and fix some issues), Damien --- OpenSSH configured has been configured with the following options.
