Thanx Chris. <br />
<br />
Problem is I have no access. And my friend is not much comfortable with *NIX. Actually, I had suggested him the idea of using .netrc file for regular ftps. <br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
This is an observation one of my friends noticed. They initially had a .netrc file in their home directory. Their ssh didnt seem to work. When they removed the .netrc file, it worked ok. according to them, they didnt change anything else. <br />
<br />
Is it possible that .netrc settings affect ssh??<br />

Does .netrc interfere with ssh

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
