Also, OpenSSH, packaged as ssh, has support for the ssh2 protocol. I know that installs :). See the bug reports for ssh, http://bugs.debian.org/ssh, though ( specifically bug 95576 ) if you have IPv6 on your box. Last I checked you have to uncomment the entries for ssh protocol 2 and sftp in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Easy enough, though :). ciao, der.hans -- # [EMAIL PROTECTED] home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # Practice socially consious hedonism.
