Errors configuring SCP on internal network.


Hello all,

I am trying to configure SSH and SCP to copy some files from one Fedora machine to another. I have successfully got ssh working, but haven't got scp working. Check this out..
Code:
scp -v raj@192.168.1.1:/var/lib/AccountsService/icons/* ./temp/

This appears to be the output of a fortune command. In general, if the remote machine prints out any output at login, usually due to commands in ~/.bashrc, scp fails. Try to remove any output from the login process on the remote machine and it should solve the problem. Not a security issue, anyway.

Minor problem/question. I get a small error when I copy now.
Code:
scp * raj@192.168.1.1:~/temp
raj@192.168.1.1's password: 
bash: fortune: command not found...

jill                                          100%   79     0.1KB/s   00:00    
julie                                         100%   80     0.1KB/s   00:00

ruth                                          100%   86     0.1KB/s   00:00    
virginia                                      100%  107     0.1KB/s   00:00
[code]
raj@rajhome2 users$ ssh raj@192.168.1.1
raj@192.168.1.1's password:
Last login: Fri Oct 12 09:33:53 2012 from 192.168.1.104
bash: fortune: command not found...
[/code}

What is the scp/ssh logic for login? I know it runs the ~.bashrc and the /etc/.bashrc if it exists, but there must be something else it executes before that.

The shell should be invoked as a non-interactive login shell, so I would look in the /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile ~/.profile and so on. Anyway you can easily find out where the offending command is, by means of
Code:
grep -w fortune ~/.* /etc/*

It was in /etc/bashrc.

Code:
raj@rajhome1 ~$ grep -w fortune ~/.* /etc/* 2>/dev/null
/etc/bashrc:fortune
Thank You!
