	and I believe you need to give the full path name; that's one of the 
	things ii just did.

	well, it works.  im not sure what I did, but no comp;laints!
	I'm running pfSense in a netgear box.  before I rebooted, my
	local IP ended in .114; after and now it moved to .113.  when 
	I did an ssh 10.47.0.113, voila! the new tao requested my password.
	and I was in.  and go ssh back and forth.  Whew!

	thanks for the help, guys.  

	gary

	ps:  I'v got to figure out how to remove gnome and install kde, 
	&c, but  at least that should be easy.
