This is a Gentoo Linux box, and the only extra flag passed to scponly on
configuration was:

--with-sftp-server=/usr/lib/misc/sftp-server

which was necessary since ./configure couldn't find it on its own.

The connection is in this instance from another Linux box using OpenSSH's
sftp, and the connection works just fine if the shell is bash, resulting in
a /usr/lib/misc/sftp-server process running.

A bug in the ./configure script causing it to not fully take into account
the --with-sftp-server flag?
