What version of ssh do you have? How are you calling the new mail notication program? Sftp works fine for me with mailstat being called from ~/.login (using tcsh) and OpenSSH 3.0.1p1 or SSH 3.1.0. I don't think that I have any ssh config options set that would make any difference. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |Dmitry's free,who's next? http://faircopyright.org
