	Well, I think I will spend some time learning about that, 
between beers that is ;)

	That was kinda what I ended up doing so I could get more than 
one window/terminal on the machine at a time (and have the machine 
recognize my terminal ;).  Then, I went over and beated sshd into 
sumbission, watched it build up its key pairs (I still had a temrinal 
program connected to the dec through the serial port), set 
niftytelnet to use blowfish, and all was well. =)

	Actually the machine *gently* mentioned that when I tried to 
su for the first time ;)

	I am confused, but then again I ahve not slept yet.  Care to 
elaborate? =)

	Sounds like my timming was not the best, huh?  Oh well, I can 
wait a bit before getting this machine to do real work, so any update 
will not annoy me that much. =)
