JHM, "ssh -t remotehost pine" works just fine! Thanks, this is what i call user support :) Good to see your happy :) Can anyone possibly explain what is going on here? Why is the -t necessary? Just for personal interest. >From the ssh manpage: -t Force pseudo-tty allocation. This can be used to execute arbitary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be very useful e.g. when implementing menu services. Otherwise pine would not have the proper stdin/out to work properly (ie. a terminal): stdin: is not a tty stdin: is not a tty Can't access terminal or input is not a terminal. Redirection of standard input is not allowed. For example "pine < file" doesn't work.
