[FAIL]
- Failed to copy file using ssh.

************************ -
Cause
There is a corrupt or invalid entry in either "/etc/ssh/ssh_config" or "~/.ssh/config" referencing “/usr/bin/sss_ssh_knownhostsproxy”
-
Resolution
1. Comment out or remove the reference to “/usr/bin/sss_ssh_knownhostsproxy” from “/etc/ssh/ssh_config” or “~/.ssh/config”. Whichever is applicable.
2. Verify that the permissions are correct on "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" & "/etc/ssh/ssh_config". They should be
-rw-------. 1 root root 4270 Dec 7 11:59 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1770 Jul 12 2021 /etc/ssh/ssh_config
3. Reinstall the sudo plugin.
