up2date

[Ryan Golhar]

That could be it.  I have a custom built version of Putty (I've called
ssh) that automatically enables X11 forwarding...

I'll try disabling it and see what happens.  Thanks

Ryan,
	I was using Mac OS X.3 without X11 started.  Jumping over to the
Win98 
box with PuTTY I also encountered the same problems you described.  On 
a hunch, I didn't load the profile I had saved with X11 forwarding 
enabled but started a fresh login without it.  Sure enough, I was able 
to use up2date-nox successfully.  Check and see if you have enabled X11 
tunneling...

hth,
Jurvis
