I just write to confirm the above behaviour. One odd thing I noticed is that I have no problems whatsover with a server using:
OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 (runs centos 3 something) While another server is causing the above symptons very often: OpenSSH_3.9p1 (runs centos 4 something) Both machines are in the same hosting center I work with those two servers several days a week. I am using this function extensively on my job. Behaviour is consistent no matter if I am using my ubuntu machine at work or at home. Both run fully updated edgy.
