Re: -25590 connect problem

I have faced this problem. Although I am not happy the way it works. Is your client a trusted user on the unix box or not? I resolved this by putting an entry in .rhosts file. But it's not that easy because sometimes it wants to have client hostname as well. Try this.

I even get this when I try to connect to our Unix boxes. Harry, Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
