First, thanks for making my life much more secure!
Second, note that I just went from ssh 1.2.27 to openssh 2.3.0p1
and found that server-side scp was broken: make install put
scp in /usr/local/bin yet the server-side PATH doesn't include
/usr/local/bin...
ssh-server# pwd
/usr/local/src/openssh-2.3.0p1
ssh-server# ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --with-ssl-dir=../openssl-0.9.6 \
--with-kerberos4=../krb4-1.0.3 --with-afs=/usr/afsws
ssh-server# make; make install
ssh-server# sshd -d -p 2222
ssh-client# ssh -P 2222 /etc/motd ssh-server:/dev/null
[...] PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin [...]
bash: scp: command not found
lost connection
Maybe this is just a problem introduced my crazy ./configure
for afs, but it seems like USER_PATH should be include bindir
(ala --prefix) when --with-default-path=PATH is not used or
somesuch hacking sillyness.
I readly admit it's easy 'nuf to hack _PATH_STDPATH in defines.h,
at any rate.
later
