I'm sure something similar to ssh for dummies or something similar to it is available from http://www.oreilly.com In the mean time... when you genereated the keys for your user account did you enter a password for it? If so then this is why it is asking for a password. There is no way around this except to not password protect your account key (do this by just hitting carriage return for the password when generating the key). It's not very secure but many people do this anyway out of necessity. -- Michael St. Laurent Hartwell Corporation -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
