Hi All,
As threatened, I have rolled up the various portability patches for the
regression tests. Assuming all is well, running the tests is as simple
as "make tests", although some platforms (eg AIX) require
"SUDO=sudo"
first.
I took the tests from OpenBSD CVS written by Markus and incorporated
the patches written by Roumen Petrov and myself as well as various
suggestions by various people. I also wrote a crude README, intended to
ship in the portable openssh tarball and reduce the number of "How do I
..." posts.
Where possible, I tried to avoid changes and preserve the original
default behaviour.
This has been tested on Solaris (2.6,8), HP-UX 11.0, Redhat 7.3,
OpenBSD 3.1 and AIX 4.3.3. It has a good chance of running on other
Unix or similar platforms without further changes.
The changes and reasons for them can be found in the following threads:

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
