WinSCP error while connecting to root

[Stephan Hendl]

Hi folks,

I tried to use WinSCP (http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/) for a ftp like scp-GUI for Windows in order to connect to a HP-UX machine running 11.0 and openssh-2.5.1p2. The problem is that I can connect to any user I want _except_ root! When I connect to root, then the command "echo $status" (this is the way how WinSCP detects the user shell) results in a "logout root". The writer of the code asked me for a proposal but unfortunately I cannot help him. Do you have any ideas?

Thanks and a nice weekend
Stephan

Please find enclosed the logfile. At the bottom there is the logout-line.
