Thanks for the response Richard.
I have my public rsa key on the remote side and can establish a regular
ssh connections without any intervention. My pop ap. is already preloaded
with its necessary credentials, too.
I didn't know if ssh assumed anything about the remote system. So it
assumes the current user your'e sudo'ing from and the remote IP is the
server to shell into?
Thanks,
Richard
