OpenSSH 2.2.0p1 + Redhat 6.2 - Problem with scp

[LI Ying Jin -NUCLEAR]

Peter,

I have quoted the following paragraph from FAQ of OpenSSH at website
http://www.openssh.com <http://www.openssh.com> .

scp must be in the default PATH on both the client and the server. You may
need to use the --with-default-path option to specify a custom path to
search on the server. This option replaces the default path, so you need to
specify all the current directories on your path as well as where you have
installed scp. For example: 
./configure --with-default-path=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/path/to/scp

I hope that this will help.

	After a nights sleep to think about it some more, I've conducted the
	following extra tests with OpenSSH.
	I have a test OpenBSD 2.7 machine that I recently built. The only
change
	from defaults I made was to uncomment the config lines in the server
and
	client files to allow protocols 2 and 1.

	After transferring my keys I was able to use ssh to login between
the
	openssh and redhat boxes. This worked in both directions.

	When trying scp, I could not connect from OpenBSD to redhat, but scp
from
	the redhat machine to OpenBSD works!!

	To check the sanity of my configs I then copied the OpenBSD config
files to
	redhat and used those, but this made no difference.

	Summary as follows
	SSH:
	Redhat -> OpenBSD : yes
	OpenBSD -> Redhat : yes
	Redhat -> Redhat : yes

	SCP:
	Redhat -> OpenBSD : yes
	OpenBSD -> Redhat : no
	Redhat -> Redhat : no

	This seems to point to a problem in my build of the server side of
the
	openssh port in Linux. The build machines are stock redhat 6.2 with
most of
	the errata updates applied.
	No fatal errors, or any noticeable warnings occurred during the
building on
	openssl or openssh.
