Authentication failure over ssh tunnel

[James Weatherall]

Hi Alan,

When you are connecting over a local network, are you connecting from
another Linux system?

You might see this with current releases if your password contains non-ASCII
characters and the default locales in use on the viewer & server systems
differ, since different locales can use different numeric values to
represent a particular non-ASCII character.

Cheers,
