[scponly] rsync with scponly on CentOS

[case22 at gmx.net]

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with rsync as described by Frank Gadot..

I tried this on 2 different servers:
1. Gentoo, using the scponly 4.8 ebuild (chroot enabled)
2. Ubuntu 8.04.1, where I manually compiled scponly-20080308 (chroot
disabled)

Configure options were
1. ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
--mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var/lib --disable-wildcards --enable-chrooted-binary
--disable-gftp-compat --with-default-chdir=scponly --enable-scp-compat
--disable-winscp-compat --with-sftp-server=/usr/lib/misc/sftp-server
--enable-rsync-compat --disable-svn-compat --disable-svnserv-compat
--build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

2.  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/scponly --enable-chrooted-binary
--disable-gftp-compat --enable-scp-compat --enable-rsync-compat
--disable-svn-compat --disable-svnserv-compat --enable-winscp-compat

On the client side, I tried
1. rsync 3.0.4 on Gentoo
2. rsync 3.0.3 on Debian

The result, i.e. the error, was the same across the board, you can see
the debug log below.
When I leave out the '-v' patameters, I get only a single line with
"getopt processing returned '?'", before it chokes on the 'e.L'.

Thank you.
