No, these are completely valid and correct error messages: 1) somesudoer has no write permissions to /var/log/exim4/mainlog > The second fist has the same message and then claims it can't find the > command '=' Which is correct again: 2) You can't read STDIN from a non-existent file called "=". 3) You can't pipe to the non-existent command "=".

No they are just consequent: ssh doesn't get passed any single or double quotes from shell if they were used for quoting because the shell strips quoting characters. And it passes what it gets to the login shell on the remote site which gets interpreted a second time. Which is what you want. > Try something like > > ssh root@host "egrep '<=|=>' /var/log/exim4/mainlog" Exactly. Because else # egrep < = | = > /var/log/exim4/mainlog would be executed on the remote system which doesn't make any sense but causes the above mentioned error messages. Closing this bug report herewith as it is no bug.
