openssh-SNAP-20001207 scp "Bad file descriptor" sort-of work-around

[James]

Damien had asked:

> What does "ssh localhost true" say?

Before, I was getting:

# ssh localhost true
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Seems I screwed up my hosts.deny with an extra linefeed.  For the record,
the actual response should have been:

# ssh localhost true
Unable to find an authentication method

With the syslog

Dec  8 12:01:31 amethyst sshd[3985]: connect from local.host
Dec  8 12:01:39 amethyst sshd[3985]: Connection closed by 127.0.0.1
Dec  8 12:01:39 amethyst PAM_pwdb[3985]: (sshd) session closed for user james
Dec  8 12:01:39 amethyst inetd[130]: pid 3985: exit status 255

Again, please Cc me on any response, as I'm not subscribed to the list.

Thanks.
