Re: Another variant of "ssh" working interactively, but "ssh cmd" and "scp" failing


hello, world\n
I've read the SSH and OpenSSH FAQ (motd/.profile issue), googled left
and right and still could not find a solution to the problem. I've got
an embedded box named FOO running OpenSSH_3.7.1p1 on Linux 2.4 on
PowerPC, the shell is a busybox, but using bash does not change
anything. No PAM. This is the situation:

ssh root@FOO -- works
ssh root@FOO ls -- fails, no output, no matter what command is given
scp file root@FOO: -- fails, "lost connection"

Are you sure you effectively tried it with bash? This would be the most
logical explanation, since sshd uses "$SHELL -c ..." to execute remote
commands, and I find this:

syrinx:~% busybox -c /bin/ls
c: applet not found
