Hi Joseph, What port is the sshd daemon listening on, did you edit the sshd_config file to reflect port 12321? -- Earl: Thanks for the reply, but I figure it out. The sshd ports are default-- 22. The target system needed a route back to the original system through the linux router. I ran tcpdump and saw it and knew then I needed a route. ______________________________________________________________________ If life gives you lemons, keep them-- because hey.. free lemons.
