Hi, Akkana, > > W is running Redhat 7.1, openssh-clients-2.1.1; H is running SuSE 7.3 > and has openssh-2.9.9. (Hmm, might upgrading W help?) Well... it wounldn't hurt, that's for sure. Upgrading SSH would enhance security as well. I can post links to the relevant vulnerabilities if it would help build a case at work. All the best, Caity
