Problem in ssh
Hi whenever i try to do any ssh related activity like.
ssh <servername>, scp some files to a server i get =true I have checked modt message but nothing is there.

I can able to get the ssh session but for scp, =true prompt get displayed but nothing happens.

For example:

Code:
# scp file1.txt SERVERIP/HOSTNAME:/usr/local/sbin/
root@SERVERIP/HOSTNAME's password:
= true

Nothing gets copied to destination server.

What could be the issue?

What version of ssh are you using, (also which OS)?
Code:
ssh -V

tried it but made no difference
Code:
# scp file1.txt root@HOSTNAME:/usr/local/sbin/
root@HOSTNAME's password:
= true

I Even reinstalled following packages but the problem seems not to be solved.
Code:
openssh-clients-4.3p2-29.el5
openssh-4.3p2-29.el5
openssh-server-4.3p2-29.el5

I guess someone has changed some configuration file of ssh.
I m not sure where exactly to look for.

Does the remote host allow root login?
