Stijn,

This is a basic SSH login/password. Key based authentication  has not 
been activated.
(Otherwise, I would have set-up my identity file ...)
In addition I just want to remind that no SSH connection is spawned from 
the NMS that is proxying the equipment. (Where the M is installed)

Also, I suspect that the PerfSONAR-2.0 RC1 bundle installer is not yet 
ready and still presents issue.
By the way, do you think that this is an issue that our admin decided 
install JAVA6 for the MP ?

Thank agin for your valuable support
Bgrds/Frederic
