Or even just the name of your host, since you define it as 'crunchbang' in the conserver.cf file. Then, when you connect using 'console switch1', run it as a regular user and authenticate with your regular user password instead. Conserver does all it's authentication through the regular Unix user routines. Because your config allows anyone read write (rw *) it should just work. Chris> Now, when I run conserver with this command: conserver# console -D -p Chris> 862 -M 127.0.0.1 switch1 Don't run it as root, run it as your regular unix username. Also, just do: console -p 862 switch1 and it should prompt you for your unix password, which you enter and then you should be all set. John
