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 prompt and 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?

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.

try something like this

Code:
ssh user@host scp-command
when he asks for a pass, give the password from the user (see command).
then normally it should work
and if you already this is this way, then i don't have an idea.. maybe first do a ssh-keyswap and then try again (then you don't have to fill in a password) but i don't think that's the problem..

It was working find after the installation .
I guess someone has made some configuration change . Not sure which file is modified since the installation.

I found out the problem was with wrong entry in /etc/.bashrc file.

the problem is resolved now.
