Hello,

Quite some time ago I learned of an unoficially suported change that could
be done in the /etc/passwd file in SPLAT that would allow me to access that
machine via SCP, which I would some times do on a SmartCenter well protected
on an internal network, to make easier taking out backups from that machine.

A customer of mine was taking backups from his cluster firewall modules and
sending them via SCP to his SmartCenter from which he would later get all
backups together to another machine on the network. But recently my customer
decided to get a new machine to migrate his SmartCenter and we had to move
to SPLAT 2.6 due to hardware support, since then he has not being able to
access that SmartCenter using SCP from the firewall modules.

I did some tests on my own with a SPLAT 2.6 virtual machine and Win SCP is
not working either even after modifying the passwd file which leads me to
think the R&D guys made a change on version 2.6 to limit the use of SCP.

Has anybody else seen this issue? I would just like to confirm if I'm right
or not.

Regards
