fish:// URL's not working in Konqueror and Dolphin (KDE 4.3Beta)

[Terrell Prude' Jr.]

Folks,

I've run across an interesting FISH protocol issue with both Dolphin and 
Konqueror in KDE 4.3Beta.  The connection gets made, but then it gets 
immediately torn down.  A typical URL I'd use is as follows.

  fish://myserver.mydomain.com/

I thought this was rather odd, since I've been using FISH URL's for 
years.  I took a look at the SSH server's logs, and sure enough, the SSH 
login is succeeding...followed by an immediate disconnect. This works 
fine in KDE 3.5's Konqueror.  It also worked when I was using KDE 
4.2.x.  Of course, I did try this to more than one server box with sshd 
running on it.  Same results.

Fortunately, there is a workaround.  Replacing "fish://" with "sftp://" 
makes things work.

The base OS is Kubuntu Jaunty with all updates applied.
