Sounds like a PuTTY problem then. You'll need to ask about this on a PuTTY list. My guess is you have a configuration issue there. If you can get similar debugging output from PuTTY as you get from 'ssh', you may be able to compare the two and see if something materializes. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
