PCLOS is the client and my lfs 6.5 is the server. Yes ssh host does work in the terminal. PCLOS is a Mandriva fork and they both use all those different drake tools for a lot of the config stuff. I don't think PCLOS follows FHS closely. vim behaves very strangely in PCLOS any way, not like Fedora, Debian and LFS. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
