	I haven't tried strace yet - that's something I haven't used 
before so I have to check the docs.
	BUTL I did restore this box (running RH9.0) with Symantec Ghost 
recently and I'm wondering if the devs got screwy that way somehow.
	Interestingly, when I alter the passwd-expect script to "exec" 
ssh as opposed to "spawn" I do get some permission denied errors, but they 
are from SSH at the target server.
	When "spawn"-ing SSH never even touches the target.
	More on this after some experimenting on my part...
