Yes, that did indeed fix the problem. Thanks and kudos to Smoot!

Now gurus, I've got another question for you. What option is causing me
to be logged out after a period of inactivity? My machines at work do
not do this, it only happens when I log in from my ubuntu laptop, so I'm
assuming that this is another option in /etc/ssh_config, but I can't
find anything in the man page that looks like it.

Thanks for all your help! You guys rock

Michael
