thanks, those are good ideas.

I've already sent them the ssh -vvv <ip>  output so they could see  
where everything was getting gummed up...
I haven't heard back from them...

but in the meantime, I have to shell into another box then shell into  
the switch...it's just a pain...

I guess I could look at it like it's inherently more secure ...  <???>
