I think that what you show here demonstrates that you have a private key that is encrypted with a passphrase (a good thing) and ssh wants to read without redisplay from your terminal. I suppose you're using this from the virtual machine console rather than from a telnet session? If so that would explain why ssh is unable to do that read from the tty. If you have to use SSH from the VM console (and I think you can not do an interactive shell over it) check out the keychain setup in the SSH tutorial on the IBM DeveloperWorks web site. For ssh from other users you may need to generate the keys with ssh-keygen if the target system does not allow plain text passwords through ssh. Rob
