Hello Derrick,

I had already tried with an xterm and the result was the same.
Now instead I have tried klog with an other account ( and of course a  
different password ) and it works. So the problem seemed related to  
the password, then I changed the password, but the problem persisted.  
Then I changed again the password and I adopted the same belonging to  
the user tested before successfully and now klog works fine.

The problem seems related to some characters used in the password. How  
to overcome this issue?
Moreover I can't understand why if I performed a ssh with the old  
password all worked fine, instead with klog not.



Thanks again Derrick for your valuable help

Enzo
