Yes, I was talking about a "shared" admin and/or root account.

Good idea, thanks!
But apparently that's not enough:
 lama:~>scp admin@otherhost:/etc/passwd .
 zsh: string expected after -c
 [1]    31295 exit 1     scp -C admin@otherhost:/etc/passwd .

Without the "!" it works.

Works, too, thanks a lot!

But why did you mention whether I really don't want to use zsh for scp?
Is there any disadvantage?  Actually I don't care as long as it works
as expected. :-)  But of course I'd prefer using zsh instead of bash
as I do when using my personal accounts, too.

Thanks,
 Andy.
