Hi Janis. Typically, /usr/bin/ssh is only executable by root and anyone in the ntools group (if you 'stat /usr/bin/ssh', it should show it's owned by root, and the ntools group, and the permissions are probably 0750). Make sure your normal users are part of that group (as a secondary group), and they should be able to execute ssh without a problem. -- Take care, Randall Hobbs Programmer - System Administrator - Acquire Technology, LLC Web Hosting * Programming * Software http://www.acquire-technology.com
