ssh is more than a little picky about the permissions various directories have. In this case, it sounds like the permissions on /tmp are set wrong. Try running (as root) 'chmod 1777 /tmp', which will set the "sticky bit" (keeps other users from deleting your files, IIRC) and is, I believe, the normal permissions for /tmp on a Debian system. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
