8/9     Thanks for the ssh passphrase advice.  The OCF machines are
        messed up in some way.  I can get in to soda from anywhere else
        without passphrase prompting.
        \_ This works for me on OCF TOO. The OCF machines are not messed up.
           Email staff@ocf if you still have this problem.
           \_ foo!  Which machine did you try it from?  I presume
              the command was 'ssh http://soda.csua.berkeley.edu -l foo', and
              you also had an .rhosts entry?  Thanks.
                \_ Don't forget to list the full names of the OCF machines,
                   (i.e. <DEAD>conquest.ocf.berkeley.edu<DEAD> - not just ocf.b.e.)
                   \_ Yeah I just tried it again from scratch.  Still says
                      "unknown or invalid host key".
