I believe so - ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=password ... - but it would be nice if I could get things behaving like it used to pre-99. I should add that I do appear to have an ssh-agent running: /usr/bin/ssh-agent /home/cjr/.Xclients-default and maybe GNOME is now interfering with that? I confess I don't know how all these bits fit together, but hopefully someone here does :-) Cheers, Chris
