Hi, I have successfully compiled the latest UNIX port of OpenSSH under AIX 4.3.3 using both gcc and IBM's C++ compilers. Under both versions I get the following error when "UseLogin" is set to "yes" and I attempt an scp: Executing: host localhost, user me, command scp -v -t test1 SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3-G1, protocol version 1.5. // utmp patch applied thanks to Gert (same results without patch) Compiled with SSL. debug: Reading configuration data /usr/etc/ssh_config debug: Applying options for * debug: ssh_connect: getuid 500 geteuid 0 anon 0 debug: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 22. debug: Allocated local port 945. debug: Connection established. debug: Remote protocol version 1.5, remote software version OpenSSH-1.2.3-G1 debug: Waiting for server public key. debug: Received server public key (768 bits) and host key (1024 bits). debug: Forcing accepting of host key for loopback/localhost. debug: Encryption type: 3des debug: Sent encrypted session key. debug: Installing crc compensation attack detector. debug: Received encrypted confirmation. debug: Doing password authentication. me at localhost's password: debug: Sending command: scp -v -t test1 debug: Entering interactive session.

Looks to be a problem initializing the environment. Changing my shell from Bash to ksh or bsh results in a stall right after the "Entering interactive session." SSH works perfectly -- I can't wait to see protocol 2 integrated! Any help would be appreciated.
