Problem with scp and SSH on Arch Linux

Subject: Problem with scp and SSH on Arch Linux

Hello,

I tried to use scp today, and got this weird behaviour:

[stijn@hephaistos ~]$ scp -2 .ssh/id_rsa-olympos2.pub \
stijn@olympos:/home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-olympos2.pub
Enter passphrase for key '/home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-olympos': 
Arch Linux (Duke) 2.6.21.4-cks-server 
[stijn@hephaistos ~]$

So I enter the passphrase, get access, but the copy never gets done.

This is in /var/log/auth.log:

Jun 14 22:00:57 olympos sshd[3678]: Accepted publickey for stijn from
192.168.1.2 port 56900 ssh2
Jun 14 22:00:57 olympos sshd(pam_unix)[3680]: session opened for user
stijn by (uid=0)
Jun 14 22:00:57 olympos sshd[3680]: error: channel 0: chan_read_failed
for istate 3
Jun 14 22:00:57 olympos sshd[3680]: error: channel 0: chan_read_failed
for istate 3
Jun 14 22:00:57 olympos sshd(pam_unix)[3680]: session closed for user
stijn


Googling on the "chan_read_failed for istate 3" reveals a lot of links,
but there it seems it is only a 'random' error, and does not affect the
copy action itself. In my case the copying never gets done.

I have attached my sshd_config from the server, if this could be useful.
Password authentication is disabled, making sure one can only get in
when he has the RSA key.

OpenSSH version is 4.6p1-4.

Kind regards

Stijn Segers
