>Originator:     Sean Kelly
>Release:        FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386
>Organization:
SlashNET/OSOnline.org 
>Environment:

	OpenSSH from /usr/ports/security/openssh Fri Nov 19 00:54:07 CST 1999

>Description:

	In sshd.c:
	child_set_env(&env, &envsize, "PATH", _PATH_STDPATH "/usr/local/bin" "/usr/local/bin");

	That code gives a PATH like this:
		_PATH_STDPATH/usr/local/bin/usr/local/bin
	The code should look something like this:
	child_set_env(&env, &envsize, "PATH", _PATH_STDPATH ":/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin");
	
	This bug causes both scp and user logins to fail (assuming no login
	script modifies the user's environment for them).

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install OpenSSH, try to scp a file from/to the machine.

>Fix:

	The code should look something like this:
	child_set_env(&env, &envsize, "PATH", _PATH_STDPATH ":/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin");
