SUMMARY: scp problem

[Walton, Joe]

Thank you all for your quick and informative responses.  They all aided me in
finding the source of the problem.

Apparently, cobol has a binary file called 'scp' in /usr/lib/cobol/bin and
/usr/bin.  Since in /etc/default/login, the PATH variable is set as
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin, The Cobol scp gets called rather than the
OpenSSH scp which is in /usr/local/bin.  So this is what caused the "Invalid
COBDIR" message.  As for a solution, I'm still working on it since we don't
have the option of simply switching the order of /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin.
I'm looking at the option of possibly getting rid of the 'scp' binary file in
/usr/bin, but first I need to find out what it is.
