Hello, I tried to use scp today, and got this weird behaviour:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ scp -2 .ssh/id_rsa-olympos2.pub \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-olympos2.pub Enter passphrase for key '/home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-olympos': Arch Linux (Duke) 2.6.21.4-cks-server [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ So I enter the passphrase, get access, but the copy never gets done. This is in /var/log/auth.log: Jun 14 22:00:57 olympos sshd[3678]: Accepted publickey for stijn from 192.168.1.2 port 56900 ssh2 Jun 14 22:00:57 olympos sshd(pam_unix)[3680]: session opened for user stijn by (uid=0) Jun 14 22:00:57 olympos sshd[3680]: error: channel 0: chan_read_failed for istate 3 Jun 14 22:00:57 olympos sshd[3680]: error: channel 0: chan_read_failed for istate 3 Jun 14 22:00:57 olympos sshd(pam_unix)[3680]: session closed for user stijn Googling on the "chan_read_failed for istate 3" reveals a lot of links, but there it seems it is only a 'random' error, and does not affect the copy action itself. In my case the copying never gets done. I have attached my sshd_config from the server, if this could be useful. Password authentication is disabled, making sure one can only get in when he has the RSA key. OpenSSH version is 4.6p1-4. Kind regards Stijn Segers
