openssh unix dev - Nov 2000 - Openssh-2.3.0p1 (Linux), sftp fails with F-secure client

Hi list,

openssh-2.3.0p1 (compiled from sources) under Linux RH kernel 2.2.16
 with this line in sshd-conf: 
Subsystem sftp sftp-server

fails when trying to connect from F-secure SSH sftp client (FTP 4.1
Build 12). Connection is immediately terminated, with following error
message in the log:
> Nov 20 14:31:30 tor sshd[23159]: subsystem request for sftp Nov 20
> 14:31:30 tor sshd[23159]: error: channel 0: internal error: we do not

Any ideas?

MHu

did you specify the full pathname to the sftp-server?
always use pathnames.. -m

Thanks. It now works after I changed the line in sshd-config to:
Subsystem sftp /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server
