I apologize. That is arguably a two factor system. When you said "ssh key and password", I "jumped to delusions", assuming that it was a standard ssh connection with the option of either key or password. Does the jump host restrict you to logging on to the account corresponding to the key? I.e. would John Smith got to the jump host with his key, could he log in to the Jane Doe account, or only John Smith. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
