I'm unable to start a remote kernel, and have not found a solution to my problem the archives. I'm running Mathematica 7.0 on Windows Vista, trying to start a remote kernel on a Linux server also running 7.0. I'm relying on WolframSSH.jar to make the connection, so I haven't fiddled with the advanced settings under kernel configuration options. (Well, I've tried without success to use putty to make the connection). When I evaluate the first command in a notebook using the remote kernel, I get the authentication key question and then enter a password, and then nothing happens. The notebook claims to be running but never evaluates, there's no error message, and Mathematica locks up. I can see that a MathKernel does start on the remote machine, so the login at least is successful. And force closing Mathematica locally kills the remote kernel. The only clue I can discover is that Mathematica wants to put the RSA key in the wrong place. My username on both machines is "carroll" (which I can confirm Mathematica knows with $UserName), but it creates the known_hosts file in "C:\Users\Ian\.ssh\" which wouldn't otherwise exist. I also don't see any key created on the remote machine. Could this cause the problem? What else should I try doing? Thanks -Ian (* apologies if this is a double post, the first vanished *)
