Does .netrc interfere with ssh

Hi,

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.

Is it possible that .netrc settings affect ssh??

Thanx Chris.

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.
