Re: Another SSH Problem

[Richard Lotz <rlotz@u.washington.edu>]

It sounds like you didn't apply the patch for compiling 3.4 on OpenBSD2.9

>From http://www.openssh.org/openbsd.html:

If you are installing on OpenBSD 2.9, you also need the following patch:
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/openbsd29_3.4.patch.

To extract and install it on your OpenBSD 2.9 system:

# cd /usr/src/usr.bin
# tar xvfz .../openssh-3.4.tgz
# cd ssh
# patch -p0 < .../openbsd29_3.4.patch
# make obj
# make cleandir
# make depend
# make
# make install
# cp ssh_config sshd_config /etc
# mkdir /var/empty
