I was interested to learn of this port and we tried it this morning.; but we can't make it work.

Setting debug level 2 in /usr/local/etc/scponly/debuglevel we get denied:

 ** ericx at king1 ** ~ ** Thu Aug 21 10:40:55
$ scp bdrtest at k2:/usr/local/customers/customers.king2/bdrtest/personal/foo.txt .
bdrtest at king2.vineyard.net's password: 
[48256]: 3 arguments in total.
[48256]:        arg 0 is scponly
[48256]:        arg 1 is -c
[48256]:        arg 2 is scp -f /usr/local/customers/customers.king2/bdrtest/personal/foo.txt

Apparantly this question has been asked on the scponly mailing list; but never answered.
