I'm sure I can get more detailed information from the server machine (as well as ssh -v) if you think that would be helpful. Is there a particular log file that would be useful? Funny, the above problem was one of the reasons I decided to go for a clean re-install after trying to figure out what I was missing from my old setup. Upgrading to a bigger and faster hard drive was worth it though. Thanks, - William. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
