    I am having a problem trying to use sftp over sshd on solaris8. sshd itself
    works fine. I can run sftp directly by using the command

    sftp -P /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server root@localhost

    and my sshd config file has the following entry:

    Subsystem sftp /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server

    but when I try to use sftp over sshd using

    sftp root@localhost

    the system accepts the password and then times out! When I run the command
    with debug level 2 I get the following:

    ...
    root@localhost's password:
    debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply
    debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).
    debug2: fd 5 setting O_NONBLOCK
    debug2: fd 6 is O_NONBLOCK
    debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
    debug2: channel 0: send open
    debug1: Entering interactive session.
    debug2: callback start
    debug2: ssh_session2_setup: id 0
    debug1: Sending subsystem: sftp
    debug2: channel 0: request subsystem
    debug2: callback done
    debug2: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768
    debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 131072
    debug2: channel 0: rcvd eof
    debug2: channel 0: output open -> drain
    debug2: channel 0: obuf empty
    debug2: channel 0: close_write
    debug2: channel 0: output drain -> closed
    debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-signal reply 0
    debug2: channel 0: rcvd close
    debug2: channel 0: close_read
    debug2: channel 0: input open -> closed
    debug2: channel 0: almost dead
    debug2: channel 0: gc: notify user
    debug2: channel 0: gc: user detached
    debug2: channel 0: send close
    debug2: channel 0: is dead
    debug2: channel 0: garbage collecting
    debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1
    debug1: fd 0 clearing O_NONBLOCK
    debug2: fd 1 is not O_NONBLOCK
    debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 0 bytes in 0.0 seconds
    debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 0.0
    debug1: Exit status -1
    Connection closed

    Any idea why it this could be occurring?
