Summary: two configure warnings
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 3.8p1

I do not know if these are critical or not, but I want to pass them along.
I am on a Sun blade 150 running Solaris 9 with just about all packages installed
and current with patches. This is with the ./configure for OpenSsh version
3.9p1. I run ./configure with the options --with-tcp-wrappers
--with-pid-dir=/var/run --with-mantype=cat --sysconfdir=/etc
--with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl. (ssl is OpenSSL 0.9.7d). configure has the
warning in the middle
configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: section "Present But Cannot Be
Compiled"
configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result

final summary of the configuration says
WARNING: the operating system that you are using does not
appear to support either the getpeereid() API nor the
SO_PEERCRED getsockopt() option. These facilities are used to
enforce security checks to prevent unauthorised connections to
ssh-agent. Their absence increases the risk that a malicious
user can connect to your agent.

Thanks, they're both warnings. The first has already been fixed (after the
3.9p1 release).
The second is a warning about the platform's lack of any way to determine
the
effective uid of the process connecting to ssh-agent's socket. This has
always
been the case, but the warning is new. (If anyone knows a way implement
getpeereid() on Solaris, please let us know).
