>Description:
When a user tries to 'scp' to another machine that is outputting
fortunes, as bash does by default on FreeBSD, then scp will exit,
printing only the first line of output instead of copying files.
>How-To-Repeat:
Have a host to which you are trying to scp print some lines to stdout
through .profile or .bashrc.
>Fix:
The patch below is to patch /usr/share/skel/dot.profile and determines
if the shell being run is interactive or not. If it is not
interactive, then it does not print out fortunes.
