Update: Richard reports this still does not now work with Mrvcmt.

Generic node names (e.g. noric)

If you use generic names like noric putty will complain about the yet each time you login. For tera-term SCCS had some known-hosts file which could work around this, but it is not currently known how to make this work for PuTTy.

Update: SCCS help desk has agreed to make a known_hosts.reg file which should solve this.

PuTTy/PLink crashes

Sometimes puTTy/Plink crashes. The workaround appears to be to go to the NetIDMgr and renew your credentials (even if they have not expired).

Sasha: in my desktop computer (Windows XP) PuTTy crashes each time I try to connect to SLAC mashine (centaurusa or noric) with GSSAPI athentication options checked. getting new credentials doesn't help. Sometimes it start to work, but it doesn't last long - in 10 minutes usually it crashes again. For the moment I just unchecked GSSAPI boxes in Authenticaltion section of PuTTY setup (and it works, but asks for password) - but I hope the solution will be found by experts ... .
