There is a nit with OpenSSH run as non-root: it dies trying to update the last-log on the system, which is understandable because it does not have appropriate write access. I've not found any way to disable this behaviour in OpenSSH. :( So right now the script does not diagnose OpenSSH errors. Fixing it would be nice, but not critical. /Simon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel mailing list libssh2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libssh2-devel
