Subject: openssh-client: no longer works with ProxyCommand (can't find shell)
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:49:40 +0200
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:5.1p1-1
Severity: grave

(Setting to grave because this is a serious regression that prevents
from using ssh with some hosts without any workaround and this bug
must be fixed before lenny is released.)

For a host for which I have a ProxyCommand:

vin:~> echo $SHELL
zsh
vin:~> ssh xxxxxx.xxxxx.xx
zsh: No such file or directory
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Note: POSIX does not require that SHELL contain a full pathname.
