Any success with OpenSSH 3?

[rharder]

Has anyone had any sucess compiling and running the latest OpenSSH (3.0.2p1 I think)?

I can compile it, but when I run ssh I get a "Bus error" and when I run the ssh-keygen I get "can't save file" errors.

The bug's been around a while, but I haven't found any fixes for it yet. Or maybe it's just me. =)

No problem here with 3.0.2p1 (ssh works fine, and ssh-keygen worked when I just tested it); I build it against OpenSSL 0.9.6c which I also built. In order to do this, I had to first move /usr/lib/libcrypt* and /usr/lib/libssl* out of /usr/lib, otherwise building OpenSSH will pick those up before the libraries in /usr/local/ssl/lib. Could that be it? Otherwise, what OpenSSL are you building against?

This combo has installed and worked correctly for me:

OpenSSH_3.0.2p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f
OpenSSL 0.9.6b 9 Jul 2001

blb, I didn't know about the trick to remove those files you speak of. I'll try that tonight...

Be sure not to remove them, just move them aside while you build OpenSSH, as you do need to put them back afterwards (for example, I have a /usr/lib/holdlib directory where I place them); there may be some binaries beyond the Apple-installed OpenSSH and OpenSSL which depend on them.
