SSH ok, SFTP ok , SCP broken... custom shell

[Graeme Tattersall]

Hi,

Can anyone explain why a shell-wrapper script of the following form breaks scp?
Can this kind of thing be re-worked to fix the breakage?

The wrapper does not produce output, and checks a shell.allow file to see if
access to a real shell such as bash should be granted.


------------
eg :

#!/bin/sh

if [ grep $LOGNAME /etc/shell.allow 2>&1 > /dev/null ]
then
   exec -a - /bin/bash $*
else
   echo "Access Denied - Please request access"
fi

------------

Cheers


Graeme
