Hi again Marcus! Wow this is HARD!!! lets see....OK I am not sure what I am doing.....I did the following from the desktop:

root@Home:/home/Bob# ssh -l Bob Home
The authenticity of host 'home (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 37:3a:a0:11:d6:f5:25:21:3e:5b:8e:7c:7c:95:30:11.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Bob@Home:~$


Not sure what this means.....Am I logged in to the desktop computer via ssh to myself???? I dont know what to do here! It seems there was some kind of error but i seem to be logged in to myself...it did ask for password this time. OK so i dont want to do this as root....OK...so I am now at "Bob@Home".......sorry to sound so confused.....well one step at a time....what are your thoughts at this point? bob58
