Something I have tried that seems to have quieted it up for rsh is that I added the line: rshd auth required pam_permit.so following the pre-existing rshd line. This appears to have eliminated the log entries. I'm not at all sure what the possible side-effects are. I don't have a copy of the Linux documentation that the pam.8 man page refers to... :-( Thanks, Bob -- Bob Willcox Shaw's Principle: bob@immure.com Build a system that even a fool can use, Austin, TX and only a fool will want to use it.
