<div dir="ltr">I don't think the sudo command really works on a mac. I'm not sure, i could be wrong, but I've had trouble with it in the past. Maybe you just need an administrator account to use it though. If you do, i think it might work ok.<br>

I am not seeing anything suggesting a root account or path to one. Nothing is listed under /Users except me, guest and shared and no hidden one either (at least none shows with ls -a). I will just have to figure out where to put the key. One thing I'd much rather do than copy my private key to my work computer is to tell it to look on a usb drive. Some posted a command for that so I'll give it a try. Should work with sudo too right? I think this is it...<br>
<br>sudo ssh -i /path/to/usbdrive/privatekey -D 80 -p 5151 user@remotehost<br><br>I will give this a try and see what happens.<br><br>Thanks.<br clear="all"></div></div><div class="Ih2E3d"><br>-- <br>Jim (Ubuntu geek extraordinaire)<br>
