This is correct. The SSH protocol only ever does authentication once for every session, at the beginning. After the session is authenticated then it is possible to open many channels. libssh2 exposes both these things in the API. > re-authenticate a second time. > > Can this be done with libssh2?

Everything you use SSH for is a channel. The PHP plugin can choose to reuse sessions transparently, in order to avoid creating new sessions. But under no circumstances can a single session be authenticated more than once. That also does not make sense in protocol terms. Please do look at the protocol RFCs. They are very very easy to read. //Peter _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
