Hey Andy, thanks for the warning about HTML email, i normally set up the
client to use plain text, this time i guess i didn't :)

sorry, i might not have been clear about this, but the problem isn't with
logging in from remote, it's when i try to log in directly on the terminal.
Any ideas?

thanks,
brad
