Al,

I've got more info.  I can connect to the resource manager if I first initiate RSE to the target system in the remote-system-explorer perspective.  That prompts me for my ssh-key passphrase.  I've got 2 passwords on lincoln: kerberos, and ssh key.  That's not an uncommon scenario.  I suspect the authentication for the resource manager needs to be setup to handle that better.

Galen,

Could you post this to ptp-dev?  It looks like something in remotetools connection code.  I've not seen it before.
