Hi Everyone, sorry for sending this to such a number of lists, but I really do not know where exactly this problem belongs. I am sending this to the MacPorts list again in order to allow responses from other lists to send replies there as well. I am using MacPorts' fuse + sshfs to mount several remote directories from various Linux servers; most of them running OpenSSH 3.8. When I edit textfiles (typically C++ or python source code) on the sshfs-volumes and delete some bytes somewhere in the file, the file on the server sometimes has spurious characters at the end of the file, often a colon (":"), for example. I am using Aquamacs for the editing. Is this a know issue? Is this an issue of MacPorts, FUSE (MacFUSE ?), sshfs? Where else should I ask if these are not the appropriate mailing lists?
