The one that did not work was a new install of 3.1. The problem was that I had forgotten to update the file: /etc/resolv.conf With this file empty, (or wrong) ssh would commence authentication, but then fail, apparently with no route back to the requestor. Hope this helps someone else. A friend of mine took one look at it and said "Duh!" Oh well, can't all be that good. -- Bob Norgard, Anchorage, AK PS Many thanks to those others who had suggestions for me.
