Older versions of PuTTY defaulted to SSH v1, and the negotiation code up to SSH v2 didn't always work right. Newer Linux distributions are configured to respond to SSHv2 only (to address a security issue), so you need to either upgrade PuTTY or change the settings to default to SSH v2. This problem goes away with this change. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
