Sandy's use of MacSFTP to connect to our server, for some unknown reason, was causing a PAM authentication failure - even though it would log him in fine. Since I installed fail2ban to protect the server against SSH script-kiddie attacks, he got banned a couple times since a line that said "Authentication failure" popped into the log everytime MacSFTP connected to the server. He's switched to fugu, which didn't cause an authentication error in the logfile.

For everyone celebrating in the US, have a happy Thanksgiving Day!

From PVRWire, who digs deep in the TiVo community boards comes news that better Mac support is coming for Tivo in 2006.
