Dear OpenSSH developers, I'm trying to port OpenSSH to our NEC SX4, but am having trouble finding reference to the 'addrinfo' structure. (Refer ssh.c:488). If anyone can shed some light on this struct, or has ported OpenSSH to a similar platform, I'd be very interested to hear from you. Thanks, Niels -- HPC Systems Programmer Information Technology Services, The University of Melbourne, Parkville 3052, Australia Email:n.endres at its.unimelb.edu.au, Phone:+61 3 9344-7995
addrinfo is a standard socket network structure described in Stevens "UNIX Network Programming, 2nd ed". It's an IPv6 structure, and is also described in RFC 2553 You will probably find it easy enought to #ifef it out, as there's not much IPv6 penetration yet into the various UNIX flavours. cheers Carl

What problems are you encountering? autoconf should replace the structure if it is missing.
