That could be it. I have a custom built version of Putty (I've called ssh) that automatically enables X11 forwarding... I'll try disabling it and see what happens.

Jumping over to the Win98 box with PuTTY I also encountered the same problems you described. On a hunch, I didn't load the profile I had saved with X11 forwarding enabled but started a fresh login without it. Sure enough, I was able to use up2date-nox successfully. Check and see if you have enabled X11 tunneling... hth, Jurvis -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
