[Bug 674390] Re: 1:5.5p1-4ubuntu4 (scp <host>:ns_sys_config) problem

[Mike Mackintosh]

I downloaded the enw version of SSH:

http://filedump.se.rit.edu/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-5.9p1.tar.gz

I extracted and searched the source for `-f --`

The -f is a hidden flag to tell the host to expect a file, but I cannot
find any documentation as to what the -- is for.

i did a search and replace on -f -- to -f in scp.c in the extracted
directory.

I ran make and make install.

>From the new SCP binary, the -f -- no longer was issued, only -f.

Issue was resolved for me. I can submit a patch in a moment.
