I think somebody said this already, but I'll repeat it. Use ssh. It's more secure, and easier to figure out. The only downside it that it is "non-free" (only for non-commercial use) and "non-US" (can be used in the US, but not exported). Cheers, - Jim pgpsqHstBS8EG.pgp Description: PGP

It's a security hole (probably a simple dns spoof would gain root on either machine. And while I'm on the topic of security here, I'd suggest ssh instead (harder, if not impossible to spoof). But if you feel risky, I think it is caused by the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED](p1):bhmit1$ more /etc/se
