Hi Jeff,

I've never run into this situation using scp or rsync (or anything  
else, for that matter) from any of the *nix boxen that I run.  I've  
got our "house-blend" which we call HURL (Hacked Up Redhat Linux)  
running a 2.4 kernel on about ten machines, and have Fedora Core 3  
running on two machines.  I scp and rsync regularly back and forth to  
my main work Mac (DP G4 1Ghz with 1GB SDRAM, OS X 10.4) and my  
personal Mac (TiBook 667 w/512MB SDRAM, OS X 10.4).  [I just updated  
to 10.4 last week, was previously running 10.3.9 from its release,  
and 10.3.8 before that.]  I've never run into any of these issues at  
all.

Sorry that I can't be much help other than to say that this is not  
the normal behavior I experience.  I presume you've tried with  
another account on your same machine to see if it exhibits the same  
behavior?  I'd try that and see if it might be something as simple as  
that.

If you don't get much feedback, you may want to try a sister list of  
this one, the X-Unix list:
<http://www.themacintoshguy.com/lists/X-Unix.html>  It's much more  
geared to these sorts of queries.  And I know some *nix-heads on it  
who aren't subscribed to this list.
