openssh unix dev - Sep 2003 - Use the OpenSSH 3.6 uidswap.c for building 3.7 under IRIX

[resending with uidswap.c instead of uidwrap.c]


Once I got past the missing inet_ntoa.h weirdness, I ran into an sshd
that died a lot.  It appears that IRIX doesn't like some of the extra
checks added between 1.23 and 1.24 of uidswap.c.  Not sure if that
constitutes an IRIX bug or not, but helpfully this helps someone.

It works if I define BROKEN_GETADDRINFO, SETEUID_BREAKS_SETUID,
BROKEN_SETREUID, and BROKEN_SETREGID.

:It works if I define BROKEN_GETADDRINFO, SETEUID_BREAKS_SETUID,
:BROKEN_SETREUID, and BROKEN_SETREGID.

FWIW, the broken getaddrinfo() should only be needed for pre-6.5.20.

:Doesn't seem needed on 6.5.17m, it even broke if I defined it.

That's because getaddrinfo() didn't exist prior to 6.5.18 -- was
introduced as a logical prelude to the IPv6 support in 6.5.19.  :)

:Building with MIPSPro and SETEUID_BREAKS_SETUID, BROKEN_SETREUID, 
:BROKEN_SETREGID and removed inet_ntoa.h seems to work for me.
