openssh unix dev - Apr 2001 - Solaris Install Inconsistency (Portable Release)

hello Openssh developers,

i am administrating a Solaris Network and installed the openssh2.5.2p2
server on one mashine, the clients network-wide.

I had a problem with sftp and solved it, but maybe it is at least worth
mentioning in the faq:

By default, the sftp subsystem is commented out in the sshd_config.
Simply removing the comment does not work because the path of the sftpd
executable is wrong, in the config-file it is /usr/local/sbin/sftpd, but
make install has installed it under /usr/local/bin/sftp-server. This
took me a while to find out, because the log-facilities regarding sftp
are somewhat poor. If i set Logging to DEBUG or VERBOSE nothing can be
read in the authlog (nor in messages), with INFO Loglevel, just the
authentications are logged, if i start sftpclient with -v i got more to
read in my shell, but not anything which could lead me to the idea that
it couldn't find the executable of sftpd. This is a bit tricky.

We tried the sshd from ssh communications before, but its not free, and
i was missing the possibility to permit ssh just for some users. With
openssh i found this feature at the first look. Well Done!

thank you for developing such an important piece of software, bye, Enno

This is not consistant with any of my installs nor the CVS tree.
sshd_config in 2.5.2 has 'subsystem' uncommented and the default before
processing is:

Subsystem       sftp    /usr/libexec/sftp-server

As far as I know we have never named sftp server 'sftpd'.  So I'm
confused
at what your seeing here.
