You can set the password in the Mathematica front end if I recall correctly. The other probable place is to use public-key/private-key with a null password and log on without any password at all. That is only practical if you are sure nobody else can get at the system. Whilst I have regularly connect from my home box to remote machines without passwords, I would not do the reverse. -- Dave K http://www.southminster-branch-line.org.uk/ Please note my email address changes periodically to avoid spam.
