Thanks for the tips. I could not do anything with .rhosts etc, but now have it working with ssh, provided that both programs are in the /home/fp directories, rather than /home/fp/crafty/ on machine 1 and /home/fp/searcher/ on machine 2 for example. The xboard man pages mention this under the -fd/sd entry. Frank
