When I try to scp a file from said machine, it shows the first line of the
fortune (the one you see if you, say, log into a shell on the machine) on
the client end and then it quits. No error is reported in /var/log/messages
or auth.log and no file is transferred.
scp requires a "clean login", and that message might be causing the SSH protocol used by scp to break. In particular, something like: "ssh _machine_ true" should run /bin/true and return without generating any additional output.
Depending on the shell you use, wrapping the invocation of fortune in something like:
if ($?prompt) then
# interactive CSH commands...
endif...or:
case $- in *i*)
# interactive SH commands.
esac...should resolve this issue.
