thanks for your help. I was crazy with that. I used the link provided by Travis Vachon… Easier to test first and worked fine… so far enough for me. thanks.

Worked like a charm for me.

@vulgarisoip: Even better – when I wrote this article, I thought it was the Apple ssh that was broken, so that’s a better fix

@steve: I didn’t want to suggest that, because I didn’t know the differences between Apple’s ssh and MacPorts’ ssh. Thanks for submitting the patch though, good work!

Update: I’ve submitted a patch to MacPorts, so hopefully the issue will go away soon:

An even quicker fix is to rename the ’scp’ and ’ssh’ binaries in /opt/local/bin, and symlink to the working Apple versions shipped with Leopard in /usr/bin.

That way, programs like git that explicitly look for ssh in /opt/local/bin will continue to work.

I’ll look at submitting a macports patch if nobody else has done so already.

Use the above instructions with the following configure command:

./configure –exec-prefix=/opt/local –prefix=/

To overwrite broken MacPorts version
