Bug Description
Source package: openssh_
Ubuntu Release: Jaunty
Package Version: openssh-
When using OpenSSH's ForceCommand sshd_config directive to launch its internal-sftp, it is not possible to pass arguments to the latter. Example:
This fails (sshd tries to invoke it as if it were an application):
> ForceCommand internal-sftp -l INFO
This works:
> ForceCommand internal-sftp
This bug has already been fixed in the upstream version of OpenSSH, see: https:/
I consider this bug as of pretty low priority since it only matters for ppl who use ForceCommand + the internal-sftp + care about logging (transfer) actions made by clients.
I have compiled a fixed version (attached patch applied) of OpenSSH in my PPA, just in case anyone would like to use that feature, too.
