this only happens on 1 machine..(i run a couple dozen potato servers/workstations), when trying to scp to or from it i get this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/aphro/window.xwd . [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Linux xxx.xxx.xxx 2.2.18 #1 Fri Jan 26 15:45:53 PST 2001 i686 unknown [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Write failed flushing stdout buffer. write stdout: Broken pipe after that i hit <enter> and get a new prompt on the local machine. yesterday i removed and purged ssh and reinstalled and the problem persists. I am running ssh 1.2.3-9.2. when im logged into that machine (its my desktop at work) i can scp to/from other machines all day long, just can't scp files from my desktop when im logged into a remote machine. everything is up to date. i can ssh into the host no problem. other then scp the machine is rock solid, 30 desktops, 200+ processes running 24/7 uptime of 59 days..so i don't think its a memory/cpu/kernel/something major, as everything else operates perfectly. it's not a major problem just an annoyance, anyone know what it might be? the only 3rd party apps i have installed are kde 2.0 from kde.tdyc.com (real old ones). i noticed not long ago someone put copies of ssh on kde.tdyc.com which hosed one of my machines until i removed kde.tdyc.com from sources.list and reinstalled ssh from the official mirrors ..but i haven't had kde.tdyc.com in sources.list for ages. thanks! nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
