You need to make sure that the SCP sources host/username's 'indentity.pub' is present in the SCP's destination host/username's '.ssh/authorized_keys' file. This involves running 'ssh-keygen', and copying files around... If your still stuck email me - I'll see what I can dig out (we do this here with no problems :-) -Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
