HP-UX 11.00 truncating remote commands

[Jason Holland]

hello all,
  i hope someone can help me out with this little nasty.  i have openssh
2.3.0p1 installed on some hp-ux 11.00 boxes and a single linux box.  i'm
trying desperately to replace trusted hosts on these machines with something
a little more secure.  running some remote commands between the hp boxes,
i'm getting different results with ssh than with remsh.

root at hp1# remsh hp2 cat /etc/passwd | wc
649 2750 44210
root at hp1# ssh hp2 cat /etc/passwd | wc
607 2636 40960
root at hp1#

that output should be the same.  its basically chopping off 42 lines for
some odd reason.  i looked at the output, and though it does chop it off at
the same place everytime, its not a strange character, just a /.  has anyone
seen this before??  when i run a similar command against the linux box, it
works perfectly

root at hp1# remsh linux1 cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $3}' | wc
23 23 67
root at hp1# ssh linux1 cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $3}' | wc
23 23 67
root at hp1#

any ideas why the hp boxes would be truncating some of the output from my
remote command, but the linux server does not???  i wish i had another
platform to test this against, maybe its just an hp issue?  thanks for any
ideas!
