[Techtalk] ssh and name resolution

[Susan Baur]

Haven't ever run into it myself, but I'm wondering if it might be  
having problems with the @. Does it resolve without the user part? If  
so, use
ssh -l parody homer.u.washington.edu  instead. (which resolved fine  
for me).

Also, maybe try adding the server into your /etc/hosts file.
