Damien Miller <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #5 from Damien Miller <[email protected]> 2010-11-24 12:21:53 EST --- Yes, we agree that this behaviour is stupid. Unfortunately, scp just rcp, which is 27 years old and is widely understood to behave exactly as it does. If we change it then we will break users' expectations and scripts. We aren't really interested in extending scp either. It implements no backwards compatibility mechanisms and the code is unpleasant to work on. That being said, the current behaviour of scp is broken in that it doesn't propagate options from the commandline to the ssh command used to invoke the remote-remote copy. This stops a user from manually specifying that they want to forward their agent on the commandline (doing it in the config file already works ok). The patch I just attached fixes this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
