No problem.  What does the scponly log output look like when you're connecting using Linux? I'm looking for output similar to the putty output, indicating what was executed on the server running scponly and what decisions scponly made based on its input.

On a Linux box, you should have had more than one strace file, I'm interested in seeing all of them.

But, like I said, please try the latest version of scponly first. scponly-4.6 was released over three years ago.  Scponly 4.8, the latest stable release, was released over a year ago.  I'd like to make another release soon, but I haven't had time to track down some autoconf stuff that needs to be changed (for a few edge cases).

Thanks.
