https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2703

            Bug ID: 2703
           Summary: Incorrect message during installation on Windows.
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.8.1p1
          Hardware: ix86
                OS: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P5
         Component: Miscellaneous
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: john.paul.abrams at gmail.com

During installation, I received the following message:

---------------------------
OpenSSH for Windows 3.8.1p1-1 Setup
---------------------------
Before starting the OpenSSH service you MUST edit the C:\Program Files
(x86)\OpenSSH\etc\passwd file.  If you don't do this, you will not be
able to log in through the SSH server.  Please read the readme.txt or
quickstart.txt file for information regarding proper setup of the
passwd file.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

There is no "passwd" file at the indicated path, and therefore I am
unable to edit it.

--- Comment #1 from Darren Tucker <dtucker at zip.com.au> ---
The OpenSSH team is not responsible for this package.  Quoting from my
message last time[0] this came up:

"""
That is an amazingly obsolete package of a _13_ year old version[1] of
OpenSSH and Cygwin packaged and abandoned by a third party.  The
version of OpenSSH has a number of known vulnerabilities and the
installer has been reported to trash Windows 10 installations.  To my
knowledge nobody on this list has anything to do with it and I
personally consider it an attractive nuisance that should be taken
down entirely.

Yeah, sorry about that, not sure how I ended up with an old version - I
think a high ranking Google hit listed it as the latest. I clued in
when I saw the contents of the version dropdown, but I guess I hit
submit anyway, meant to cancel.
