SSH error - Bad configuration option: PermitLocalCommand

[dictum9]

The system is 11.00

When I scp to any client, I get this.

I cannot find PermitLocalCommand in any sshd_config file.

Why is this happening, what can I do?

/usr/local/bin #:./scp -v -v -v /tmp/a baja1:/var/tmp
Executing: program /usr/local/bin/ssh host baja1, user (unspecified), command scp -v -t /var/tmp
command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: PermitLocalCommand

check the ssh config files instead.

Nothing in ssh_config either.

Hello,

Scp and sftp add it to the command line they run. For example:

addargs(&args, "-oPermitLocalCommand no");

Your sftp and scp executables are using the
wrong ssh executable.

Sftp and ssh set a number of options when
invoking ssh. PermitLocalCommand
is one of them.

The PATH might be setup however you like,
but the scp has the preferred path to the
ssh built into it.

If you do:

# strings scp | grep \/

... you will see the default
path to the binary for ssh.

Cheers,
