More Problems :(
in the past I ran ssh commands that worked charmingly, example:
ssh www "tar cz /var/log/httpd/"|dd of=some file
now using Tzafrir 5 option I have in my authorized_keys
command="tar cz /dir" 1024 37 17088959 ......
then
dd of=./some_file.tar.gz
and the file get corrupted.
Maybe block size problems maybe other problems any way its too bogus to me.
