JC> I'm trying again as a temp user. In addition to using a uid which does not have anything in ~/.ssh and which sets no envs matching /SSH/, I also moved /etc/ssh/ssh_config out of the way while the test was running. With that, the tests all passed. It is a Gentoo ~amd64 box. -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos at jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6
