Hiya, [if this is a known issue/misconfiguration, please direct me to the right fm :-); if this is a wrong place to ask, please tell me the right one] I'm using the linux port of openssh-1.2.2. The issue is that server-side scp doesn't work: scp somefile me at myhost: seems to take forever, and does nothing. sshd -d shows that scp -t somefile is being invoked on server side, and stays running long enough to get me bored. scp me at myhost:somefile . prints: C<perms> <filesize> somefile ...and exits. no file copied. sshd -d also shows that scp -f somefile is being invoked on server side, exit status 1 ssh_config and sshd_config files are the default ones... I may post them if that matters. scp -v didn't reveal anything real useful, at least for me. scp with server being sshv1 did work. I compiled the whole thing from source, the configure line was: ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --with-tcp-wrappers --with-ipv4-default --with-default-path="/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" --with-pid-dir=/var/run System is rh-5.2 based, default compiler (gcc-2.7.2.3), default libc. The kernel is 2.0.38, patched with Andrea Arcangeli's 'ping -R' patch, and latest Solar Designer's patch, all of its options being active. If that issue requires some feedback/debugging from me, I am willing to do it. tia, -- Igor Grabin alias CacoDem0n[GOD] violent at death.kiev.ua, http://zoe.istc.kiev.ua/
