Did you do those digs on the target box (i.e., the box you are ssh-ing
*to*)?

What happens with "ping raven.wolf.local" on the target box?

What are the contents of /etc/resolv.conf on the target box?

What are the IP addresses of the two boxes involved (and which is
which)?

What exact command are you using on the local box (i.e., the box you are
ssh-ing *from*)?

Regards, K.
