Probably only root user has permission to delete the default route, so the deletion fails with other users? > Have looked at the files in the /root folder, profiles etc. Started to look > into the sysctl file and /etc/ssh etc. > > Does any one know of a url that explains a step by step on scripts called > when ssh console opened? SSH is complex. My best guess would be a "tun" device, and the Windows client set to use (or ask for) some sort of tunneling protocol. If you had a VPN or PPP link configured on the box in the past it might hit the same name and call the interface up/down scripts. Might be easier to try it as a non-root user and look for the "failed to change route" statement - possibly some sort of IOCTL error.
