Why don't you tell us more information: the output of "ssh -v bull@zany.admin.uni.edu", any related message in /var/log/messages. Gary -----Original Message----- From: Troy Bull [mailto:troy.bull@uni.edu] Sent: Saturday, November 20, 2004 3:02 AM To: secureshell@securityfocus.com Subject: ssh prompting for password in X window not in terminal WHY?? Greetings I have a frustrating problem. Sometime in the recent past, my ssh client stopped working on my RedHat WS 3 box. Why it acts this way I have not been able to figure out. If I ssh IN to the box all is fine. From that window then if I do something like "ssh bull@zany.admin.uni.edu" it tries to open an xwindow password prompt. The desired action is for it to prompt me for the password right there (not through X but in the same tty). This is really frustrating for me and I have no idea how I got set this way. I removed and reinstalled all the ssh rpms and it still happens. Anyone have any idea how I can get it back to prompting me for the password right there? Thanks Troy
