Tom,

I am still required to enter a password to run shell scripts/commands off
remote server.

If I type     ssh web at unix l /tmp

I have to type password for user "web" as defined in the SCO box.   Please
notice the
 "unix" in web at unix is pointing to the SCO UNIX box.

I really need this to work without having to enter the password - If I get
this done, I
will finish my project in matter of hours ...

Regards,


Jose
