Any hints you can > give me on how to do this would be appreciated. There isn't much we can do to help. You can test passphrases without hurting our network; just start ssh-agent and run ssh-add until you get it right. If you can't remember your passphrase at all, you can send us a new SSH public key. And then write down the passphrase so you don't forget it again. Ian
