    I have a user account setup with a restricted shell (/bin/rbash) on host X

    I can scp or ssh from the OpenSSH host (Z) to OpenSSH client (host X) just fine.

    On F-secure host Y I generated a key, copied it to host X (openSSH) server,
    converted the key for use by OpenSSH using ssh-keygen -i ...

    ssh and scp from the F-secure server (Y) to the OpenSSH server (X) works fine.

    When I changed the users shell on host X to use a restricted shell (/bin/rbash) ssh still works however
    scp does not! The scp command displays no errors or warnings.

    Anybody have a clue why scp will not work with F-Secure when the OpenSSH client is using
    a restricted shell? I haven't been able to try with F-secure at both ends.
