You could try it our for yourself -- if something else breaks then you know where to look. It may work to use the sshx method instead of ssh. (Of course, that is not an option with sudo. Hm. In principle, sudo could be changed in a similar way.) It may also work to use a method similar to sshx which invokes "bash -i" instead of /bin/sh. Kai
