My hosts file is as follows: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.100 vulcan vulcan.gateway.2wire.net 192.168.1.101 saturn saturn.gateway.2wire.net 192.168.1.65 cyrus cyrus.gateway.2wire.net And I can do : ssh vulcan from saturn without problem. Is that what you want to do? -- ======================================================================= I'd rather just believe that it's done by little elves running around. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
