I was very excited when I saw the announcement that openssh now supports
the ssh2 protocol. The problem I have run into is that openssh v. 2.1.0
will not compile unless rsa is supported by openssl. Because I wish to
use openssh in a commercial environment in the USA, I built openssl with
no support for rsa, rc5, or idea (thus ensuring that I do not encroach on
anyone's blasted patents).
Openssh claims to be able to run without using any patented algorithms,
but is there really any way to build such a binary?
Details:
portable openssh v. 2.1.0
openssl 0.9.5a (no-rsa, no-rc5, no-idea)
solaris 2.6 (SPARC)
