OpenSSH (at least on IRIX) uses -lgen in LIBS. This is only needed (and thus should only be used) for linking sshd. Using -lgen elsewhere unnecessarily adds code and dependencies. Similarly, -lcrypto is not needed when linking scp. -- Georg Schwarz http://home.pages.de/~schwarz/ geos at epost.de +49 177 8811442
