This seems to work on Linux and I have had reports of it working on other
platforms too. Please test this patch and report here or on the list. I'd
like
to get this in for the next version.

Patch id 93 works on AIX (tested 4.2.1, 4.3.3 & 5.1).

It does not work on Solaris (tested 7, 8).  sshd still works, but ps still shows
the original arguments.

I'm using this patch for AIX 4.3.3 and it works perfectly.
I'm also using it on HPUX 10 and 11 (will try 11i soon) but I need to make
some modifications in config.h after running configure. (add a define for
HAVE_SYS_PSTAT_H) and make sure HAVE_PSTAT is set in some way (my way is not
really clean) otherwise support will still be disabled.

I have committed this - it will switch on For Linux, AIX and HP/UX (If I got the
configure logic correct). 

Switching it on for other platforms is simply a matter of editing 
openbsd-compat/setproctitle.c and twiddling the #ifdef maze

how does one munge process string in solaris?

also, i think it would be better to set method per-platform
in configure.ac rather than growing the ifdef maze:

		AC_DEFINE(SPT_TYPE,PS_USE_CLOBBER_ARGV)

The original source said to use argv clobbering for Solaris, but that didn't
seem to work (see  Comment #3) so I just disabled it.

I have moved all the platform selection to configure.ac - it is a better place
for it. If you don't define a SETPROCTITLE_STRATEGY (and optionally a
SETPROCTITLE_PS_PADDING), it will switch off setproctitle emulation.

Further info on Solaris: /usr/bin/ps apparently won't display the modified 
arguments while /usr/ucb/ps will.  I knew they were different but I didn't
know
about that particular difference.

I haven't been able to get it working on Solaris after adding "#define 
SETPROCTITLE_STRATEGY PS_USE_CLOBBER_ARGV" (it core dumps) but I suspect
I'm
doing something dumb.

You might want to set SETPROCTITLE_PS_PADDING as well (see the linux section in
configure.ac). I suggest that you file a new bug for Solaris, so we can stop
flogging this one :)

I tried both ' ' and '\0' but didn't want to clutter this
bug.  I'll file a new
bug when I'm convinced I'm not doing something wrong (I've had
*really* strange
problems since upgrading to openssl-0.9.7 which I'm still trying to figure
out).
