Hi Vince,

I tested the ssh_config changes and indeed they work beautifully and  
give me an added layer of flexibility.  This certainly seems to be the  
optimal solution for for different host configurations  without having  
to change remote scripts.

I hadn't even considered it.  Again DUH! Hello!

I can't thank you enough.
