Yep, it breaks when using a name without space, but it seems that this is only reproducible with an ssh server running on Linux: $ ssh -V OpenSSH_5.8p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011 So the client is on OpenBSD (also 5.8), and the server is the Linux version. This is the environment where the bug happens. Daniel -- LIVAI Daniel PGP key ID = 0x83B63A8F Key fingerprint = DBEC C66B A47A DFA2 792D 650C C69B BE4C 83B6 3A8F
