[TriLUG] SSH "partial success"

[Janyne Kizer]

We are using the -l command to get the correct ID.  I can go SSH from
one server to Cleveland County, for example, with no problems.  If I go
to the problem server, I cannot even though I have litterally copied and
pasted the command.  Yeah, even going from root on one to root on the
other doesn't work.
