I want to also allow for passwordless IMAP connections via SSH in pine between one of the hosts to the other. I found this on teh net and thought it woudl be pretty easy: http://www.washington.edu/pine/pine-info/1999.12/msg00170.html However, whenever I load up pine and try to connect via IMAP, it gives me a timeout message and then prompts me for my password. I have a feeling it has to do with this configuration line in .pinerc: ----------------- # Sets the format of the command used to open a UNIX secure # shell connection. The default is "%s %s -l %s exec /etc/r%sd" # NOTE: the 4 (four) "%s" entries MUST exist in the provided command # where the first is for the command's path, the second is for the # host to connect to, the third is for the user to connect as, and the # fourth is for the connection method (typically "imap") ssh-command=%s %s -q -l %s exec /etc/r%sd ----------------- I have no idea if that command should be altered or not..any ideas anyone?
