I didn't know why the hell was uptime being called, then i looked at .bashrc. Turns out scp/ssh/bash will run .bashrc and - for some reason - only execute the first line and then drop dead. I used an echo instead and had the same result: an echo, no transfer. I renamed it to .bashrc_ and now scp works... To, as followup questions: how do i work around this? When i'm using an xterminal through an ssh session i want my login shell, bash, to read a login script; but not scp. So i guess .bashrc is not the name the file should have anyway 'cos only root will read it in regular xterm sessions, not the regular user... As for login wait-times, disabling DNS in sshd config did do the trick but in the long run i'd want it working. Both machines are connected to a home router that does the DNS and DHCP so it oughta Just Workb"; later post i guess. Arnaud, thanks for the tip that solved the mistery.
