I do not startx and I am able to connect to my server via ssh but as soon as I get into KDE and open a console I get this far and that is it: [cwalker@butthead cwalker]$ ssh -l root Passphrase for key "/home/cwalker/.ssh2/butthead" with comment "1024-bit dsa, root@, Mon Jun 04 2001 20:54:27 -0700": Authentication successful. And then that is it. I get console messages from the server that I am connected to but I cannot issue commands or access a shell. Any thoughts would be appreciated. It is probably something easy but it is evading me. Thanks in advance... Caleb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
