All the output lines (like fortune) are inside an "if" statement testing
for interactive shells.
I have also run the test suggested on the OpenSSH web site to look for
output, and it showed none.
The test is:
ssh destination.server /bin/true
(or /usr/bin/true, as appropriate)
If this produces any output (except password requests), then you need to
changes your .profile scripts (or similar, depending on shell). I get
no output when I run this test.
Besides, my login .profile scripts were copied verbatum from my previous
RedHat install, and scp worked at that point, from the same box it is
failing from now.
