sgi 8.2.9: scp/sshd

System name:		smoke-screen.mit.edu
Type and version:	IP32 8.2.9 (with mkserv)
Display type:		CRM


What were you trying to do?

[cfox@myxomycete]/tmp> scp cfox-test-file cfox@smoke-screen:/tmp/cfox-test-file
cfox@smoke-screen's password: 
sourcing .environment...
[cfox@myxomycete]/tmp> Write failed flushing stdout buffer.
write stdout: Broken pipe

(myxomycete is running linux, with ssh 1.2.25 installed, and the scp which came
with that)


What's wrong:

  It starts sourcing my dotfiles and stuff, rather than just giving me a connection
and copying the file.  I can copy the file to another host (a linux box without a
hacked sshd) just fine, I can login to smoke-screen via ssh, and I can scp stuff from
smoke-screen just fine.

Is the sshd on 8.2 machines setup to allow execution of commands remotely, or only
logins?
