Dear developpers,
I have some problem with the latest openssh available via CVS. The target
host is detected as mips-sony-bsd, SONY NEWS-OS 4.2.1R, which is an old
type OS based on 4.3BSD.
At first, this system has VSTATUS defined but no _POSIX_VDISABLE which
both are used in openbsd-compat/readpassphrase.c.
Second, some header files on this OS do not include <sys/types.h> and it
causes many syntax error. For example, dev_t used in <sys/stat.h> and
defined in <sys/types.h>. I checked the openssh source and found that a
directive about <sys/types.h> is defined in config.h.in but it is not used
in configure (and configure.ac).
To fix these problem, I made a very ad-hoc patch. Here is.

There is another not-so-serious problem. When I logged in this host from
another host with 'ssh -X', some X applications get error. For example,
nakaji at clare:nakaji$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:11.0
nakaji at clare:nakaji$ /usr/bin/X11/xterm
channel 0: istate 8 != open
channel 0: ostate 64 != open
X connection to localhost:11.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
And some other X applications do not. The difference between them is that
the former (error) is preinstalled with this OS and it is X11R5, and the
latter is installed with X11R6. Strange...
Any hint? Thanks in advance.
