login message

[Jacinto, Alex G (GE Energy)]

I'm trying to use sftp and the openssh FAQ suggest that it is not possible
to do this if the shell initialization produces output for non-interactive
session and to try ssh yourhost /bin/true in order to test it.

I did the following command and the following message came out of my
terminal:

shell-init:  could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
directories:  No such file or directory

Does ssh trying to access something?  I don't have anything in my .profile
and no .*rc files.  Thanks in advance.
