Yes, this has made a difference. Thank you. I ran against a local
user, although they were not a local administrator. It ran fine:

portapps@*********** ~
$ /usr/sbin/sftp-server -h
usage: sftp-server [-ehR] [-f log_facility] [-l log_level] [-u umask]

I guess that points towards a pseudo terminal handling glitch for a
domain user, right?

Shaddy
