Description Yannick Majoros 2006-02-07 12:48:47 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)

Description of problem:
My users complained that scp didn't work anymore, from a command line on another linux box to the server on which they have scponly as shell.

I downloaded the lates sources of scponly (4.6), and compiled it. Same problem.

I then recompiled scponly with winscp compatibility option, and the problem was solved.

I think winscp compatibility was enabled by default in prior versions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scponly-4.3-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a 'test01' user with /usr/bin/scponly as shell
2.From another box, try scp x test01:/tmp
  

Actual Results:  ssh or scp to target server with user which has scponly as shell gives "Connection to target.machine closed."

Expected Results:  should work without having to recompile

Additional info:

When debug level is set to 2:

---8<--8<---
scponly[22776]: 1 arguments in total.
scponly[22776]:         arg 0 is -scponly
scponly[22776]: opened log at LOG_AUTHPRIV, opts 0x00000029
scponly[22776]: incorrect number of args
Connection to target.machine closed.

It looks like scp is fully disabled by default despite configure and
documentation saying otherwise in 4.3+.  I have upgraded our FE package to 4.6
and enabled scp with the ./configure flag.  I don't think enabling the winscp
feature is necessary because the newer version of winscp is supposed to work
without it.  It should be pushed to the mirrors later today.
