Thanks for the advice, after I chmod'd sudo everything worked fine.  I must
have inadvertantly changed its permissions when I cleaned up after my pico
install.  In terms of ssh, that's a very good program.  It was the very
first package I installed, and I never log in without it :) Next I am
installing tripwire.  I notice that tcpwrappers is not in the package
collection.  I know I can download the source from CERT, has anyone had
problems compiling their source?
