Hi All,
Just spent a number of hours fighting with the above combination of
operating system, crypto library and OpenSSH. Password authentication kept
failing and it took a number of hours to nut out the problem. It turns out
that the OpenBSD/libc version of crypt (which supports Blowfish, MD5 and
DES) wasn't being used, instead the version found in libcryto was being
utilised.
The follow change soon corrected the problem:
ssh/sshd/Makefile
+LDFLAGS+=-lc
Hope this will save someone else the time and effort in debugging the
problem :)
Cheers,
Joel
PS. Many thanks to the OpenSSH team for providing such a brilliant suite of
software! OpenSSH rocks!!!
