Hi!

Slight problem with an ssh forced command. (Using OpenSSH_3.6.1p2
- latest update for RH ES 3.0)

Something like this works as expected:

 ssh box "tar -cvjf - /path" > file.tar.bz2

Now setting a forced command in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on "box" seems to
work, but alas output is garbage:

command="tar -cvjf - /path" ssh-dss ....

 ssh box > file.tar.bz2

file.tar.bz2 isn't a usable tar.bz2 file, it's slightly bigger
then without forced command, which looks like the problem.

Thx for any hints on how to resolve the problem.
