I have tried to build ssh-1.2.26 and ssh-1.2.27 from the source
packages, but they don't work. During the build a key is generated,
and this procedure hangs with
p.........................................................
(and this goes on for hours)
Then I have tried building ssh2-2.0.13, and this one
works. Unfortunately, ssh2 falls back to ssh1 when an ssh1 client
tries to connect, and this doesn't work anymore. I think it has
something to do with glibc 2.1. The FAQ of glibc 2.1 mentions major
changes in libm, so the problem might be there. Anyone with a slink
system (glibc 2.0.x) should try to build ssh and the new gmp2 to see
where the problem is.
My system is a SS20 (2xSuperSPARC, sun4m), 64 MB RAM with kernel 2.2.9
and 2.2.10 (UNIX98 pty support) and an up-to-date potato installation
(libc6-2.1.1-9).
