Since it works fine transferring files over nfs, it has to be something about the interaction with ssh. (The fact that it also works fine with ssh as a cronjob adds to the weirdness, of course.) Reading up a bit on what can cause ssh to appear to stall, I just un-commented "useDNS no" in sshd_config on both machines and restarted sshd. I think that's the default setting anyway, but I made the change and that didn't do anything for me either. I notice, though, that if I ssh from jeff to mutt and type exit, it logs me out as soon as I hit enter. If I ssh from mutt to jeff and type exit, it logs me out after a delay of about one second. I never really noticed if that delay was there before or not. I wonder if it's somehow related. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com
