Sorry to reply to myself. Got some more information that might be useful. The difference between mounting successfully from a terminal and failing from nautilus is the following: Output in /var/log/secure on remote box from a successful mount from a terminal on the local box: Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2727]: Postponed publickey for patrick from 10.0.0.111 port 60652 ssh2 Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2724]: Accepted publickey for patrick from 10.0.0.111 port 60652 ssh2 Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2724]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user patrick by (uid=0) Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2728]: subsystem request for sftp Output in /var/log/secure on remote box from a failing mount via nautilus on the local box: Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2727]: Postponed publickey for patrick from 10.0.0.111 port 60652 ssh2 Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2724]: Accepted publickey for patrick from 10.0.0.111 port 60652 ssh2 Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2724]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user patrick by (uid=0) Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2728]: subsystem request for sftp Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2724]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user patrick Only difference is the last line here. Seems the session gets closed. Anyone know why? Regards, Patrick
