My WAG is that your 'git' is a and you're getting at least 'scp' from there on the "problem" machine. But your full problem report should help determine that. You can also try things like "which scp" to see if it points a finger. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
