Hey, I didn't start it. It just seemed like knc1 was throwing some attitude my way. I know it can be difficult to deal with people who constantly come in that haven't RTFM, but sheesh.

Okay, okay, maybe I should try to lay out exactly what I'm trying to do?

I'd like to SSH outbound from the Kindle to an embedded device, with the -X option so it takes care of all the Xauth forwarding. Basically I'd like to be able to use the Kindle PW as my X display. Your version of kterm-ssh doesn't support the -X option. That's why I was trying to get a real OpenSSH installation going, but it appears the usbnet installation only contains an SSH (and SFTP) server.

Edit: Also, sorry for the attitude. I'm having a bad day, no excuse.
