I am having trouble with ssh-1.2 as built from the ports tree. ssh seems to truncate files in a certain size range whenever you use it to transfer data using a pipe or a redirect. Here is a way to repeat it on my machine (both machines are running 2.2.6), with a comparison to the same command using rsh: --- localhost$ rsh remote_host dd count=61 if=/dev/zero | wc -c 61+0 records in 61+0 records out 31232 bytes transferred in 2.557135 secs (12214 bytes/sec) 31232 localhost$ ssh remote_host dd count=61 if=/dev/zero | wc -c 30720 localhost$ --- Note how the statistics report that is normally written by dd to stderr is missing too. If you drop the count by one, you will get a good write, but the statistics report is still missing. Drop it by one more to 59, and everything works fine. Any thoughts? Please cc me in reply, as I am not currently subscribed to the list. Thanks.
