Hi,

We have an interesting problem with F-Secure SSH (v 3.1.0) running on HP-UX. It seems that when scp or sftp commands are issued they are successful but it counts as a 'strike' against the target user locking the account out after 3 attempts.
When the user is re-enabled in SAM - it reports that the user was locked for too any unsuccessful login attempts. This is strange as the password is being accepted and the scp/sftp command successful.

An error is written to the syslog - "ssh-pam-client returned packet SSH_PAM_OP_ERROR. (err_num: 32, err_msg General Comercial Security error"

Is this a "feature" of my now outdated SSH client? The problem is not present after SSH keys are set-up. Also it is only apparent in SCP & SFTP but not in straightforward SSH or FTP.

Has anyone seen this before?

Cheers.
