Although I think we're getting on track here - it looks like the problem is happening when I su into a different account and try to ssh from the su'ed account (which also has the host key) - after su'ing, the tty device remains owned by the base user with respect to my new EUID, which appears to make ssh outbound break. thomas _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
