[X-Unix] SSH trouble

[Chris Ruscio]

I removed the line and managed to login... thanks :)

As to adding a line though, something multiple people suggested, it 
didn't seem like the kind of file I should be editing by hand. Is there 
a program to add a line to it, or will a text editor work?

Thanks for the help,
Chris
