I'm the author of Entperise Audit Shell (http://www.sf.net/projects/eash)

I think I've ran into the same problem as you.  Did you ever run into
any issues with FreeBSD?

I can execute remote commands just fine, but when I execute scp, my
program waits about 0.5 seconds and exits.

My shell logs the scp file transfers on Solaris, AIX, Linux and
everything else except FreeBSD.  When I do an scp on FreeBSD I get the
'connection lost' error. I verified this with ssh user at host ssh -f
/etc/hosts, and it waits about 0.5 seconds and exits.

I was hoping you could help shed some light on this weird bug with
your experiences with scponly.

Here is the similiar problem I found with scponly:
https://lists.ccs.neu.edu/pipermail/scponly/2003-June/000269.html

When the shell is /bin/sh it works, and when it's scponly, it gets the
'lost connection' error.

My program is behaving the exact same way :(
