I would, but it seems I forgot to add sshd to the startup sequence. Port 22 is not accepting logins. Its been a long day with yard work, so I'll give it a shot tommorrow. There is a fleeting error message when raspi-config is exited. But it is not very verbose, just enough to give me the impression it has no write perms to a file that does not exist. Or something similar. But no further clues, such as naming the file. Or better yet, giving us a full path to the file so we can actually check it out. Thank you, Mark.
