bash problem with scp

[anonymous]

If I changed root's shell to bash I got the following error If I want to connect with scp to the openwrt.

scp root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/test .
root@192.168.1.1's password:

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Inappropriate ioctl for device

[anonymous]

Same. Bash 3.2.0(1), Dropbear 0.51-2 (remote), OpenSSH 6.0p1 (local). "/bin/ash" in /etc/passwd changed to "/bin/bash"

Replying to anonymous:

Same. Bash 3.2.0(1), Dropbear 0.51-2 (remote), OpenSSH 6.0p1 (local). "/bin/ash" in /etc/passwd changed to "/bin/bash"

Same in my BARRIER BREAKER (Bleeding Edge, r37864), but just when executing sudo -s. I created an unprivileged user and changed both entries in /etc/passwd to have /bin/bash as login shell.

Whenever I execute sudo -s from /home or /home/my_unprivileged_user I get:

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Success

Both directories have 766 as access rights. If I execute sudo -s from any other location, no error message is printed.

I suspect that this could be a getcwd() issue as described in this thread:

I forgot to mention that my bash version is GNU bash, version 4.2.28(1)-release (mips-openwrt-linux-gnu). However the issue can be easily solved executing:

sudo -s -E

-E preserves the environment of the sudo-ing user.

2 years later, GNU bash, version 4.2.53(1)-release (mips-openwrt-linux-gnu) and the problem persists. Here's my workaround for scp and rsync. (I don't use sudo.)

/etc/passwd:

henryg:x:1000:1000::/home/henryg:/bin/ash

cat $HOME/.profile

#       .profile - Bourne shell login script

        [ "$PS1" = "" ] || {
                /bin/bash
                exit
        }

No distracting messages.
