[scponly] V 4.0 allows ssh ??

[wby oblyr]

this is a documentation problem.

in scp compatibility mode, scponly WILL allow certain file navigation functionality relating to file 
transfers.

from the source:

#ifdef ENABLE_SCP2
    { PROG_LS, 1 },
    { PROG_CHMOD, 1 },
    { PROG_CHOWN, 1 },
    { PROG_CHGRP, 1 },
    { PROG_MKDIR, 1 },
    { PROG_RMDIR, 1 },
    { PROG_SCP, 1 },
    { PROG_LN, 1 },
    { PROG_MV, 1 },
    { PROG_RM, 1 },
    { PROG_CD, 1 },
#endif /*ENABLE_SCP2*/

those uppercase macro definitions are established by ./configure at compile time.

the reasoning here was to allow sftp-ish functionality via scp.  listing and manipulating files and 
directories are all within the domain of scponly.

i WILL correct the documentation so that people will not be surprised by this behaviour in the future.

i may also make the configuration parameters more granular for this behaviour.  check back in 4.1 

thanks for the feedback,
joe
