Hello,
I've been scp'ing into my FreeBSD box without any problem. However, today I was met with this:
Code:
vivin@serenity ~/Projects/code
$ scp -r myusername@www.mybox.net:~/code/agnostic .
Password:
ps: Process environment requires procfs(5)
Initializing new SSH agent...
vivin@serenity ~/Projects/code
$
I can ssh into the box without any problem. Running "ps -ef" on the same box gives the same problem. I've never run into this issue before. I tried rebooting, but that didn't help either.
EDIT
Ok, I made the "ps" problem go away by putting this in my fstab:
Code:
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
and then
Code:
vivin@enterprise ~
$ sudo mount /compat/linux/proc
vivin@enterprise ~
$ sudo mount /proc
Now I don't get that error when I scp, but I get:
Code:
vivin@serenity ~/Projects/code
$ scp -r myusername@www.mybox.net:~/code/agnostic .
Password:
Initializing new SSH agent...
vivin@serenity ~/Projects/code
$
EDIT
I wonder if this is related to my public key. I created one because I am using github, and it is in my .ssh/
I figured out the problem. I had this in my .bashrc:
Code:
PS1='\[\033]0;\u on \H [\w]\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$ '
alias ls='gnuls --color'
SSH_ENV="$HOME/.ssh/environment"
function start_agent {
echo "Initializing new SSH agent..."
/usr/bin/ssh-agent | sed 's/^echo/#echo/' > "${SSH_ENV}"
echo succeeded
chmod 600 "${SSH_ENV}"
. "${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
/usr/bin/ssh-add;
}
# Source SSH settings, if applicable
if [ -f "${SSH_ENV}" ]; then
. "${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
#ps ${SSH_AGENT_PID} doesn't work under cywgin
ps -ef | grep ${SSH_AGENT_PID} | grep ssh-agent$ > /dev/null || {
start_agent;
}
else
start_agent;
fi
And this was causing the SCP to fail...
