[scponly] rsync and bwlimit

[wbr oblyr]

ah, i see the problem.  its actually the equals sign ('=') that scponly is
choking on.

you can correct this option by extending your "allowable" character set to
include the equals sign, recompile, and reinstall.

you do this by finding the ALLOWABLE define macro in scponly.h, it looks
like this:

#define ALLOWABLE "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890 ./-*\\_\'\":?()"

and change it to this:

#define ALLOWABLE "=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890 ./-*\\_\'\":?()"

then recompile...
