I've noticed every now and then that it would be = running as root, and as a regular user, you cannot use the -h option. = What exactly could be going on? I only run telnet and ssh1 as remote = login daemons. Does telnet or ssh1 require this login command to be = executed certain times or randomly? I have both telnet and ssh clients = chmod 700, so a regular user won't be able to remotely login from my = computer... Any ideas? -- Richard Ward "sleep deprived and caffeine-empowered" ------=_NextPart_000_028B_01C05844.0FB95B00 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I'm wondering what program would use = root to=20 execute 'login -h <some weird host> -p".
