I installed the redhat 7.0 rpm openssh-clients-2.5.2p2-1.7. In
connecting to another Redhat system with openssh-2.5.1p1 locally made I
get a strange error.
[]:ssh myhostname
produces
myhostname: command not found
However if a make a one line config in the /home/user/.ssh directory
containing
hostname myhostname
and use
[]:ssh
It works. It is rather inconvenient to have to make a config file for
each host. What is wrong? By the way I ran this with sshd -d on another
redhat system. I saw the same problem on a commercial ssh 2.3 server.In
both cases the server really seemed to be trying to execute myhostname
as though the argument hostname is being reused as command argument.
