Just a FYI: OpenSSH-2.9.9p2 compiles just fine on Irix 6.5.13, using the MIPSPro-7.3 compiler (gcc-3.0 creates a binary that gives funny log messages), linking against the freeware OpenSSL package from freeware.sgi.com No PAM, but anyway... This is how i did it: bash-2.04# export CC=cc bash-2.04# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openssh \ --with-ldflags=-L/usr/freeware/lib32 \ --with-cflags=-I/usr/freeware/include If you don't tweak those flags it won't compile. OpenSSH rocks! :o) -- Florin Andrei "In theory, under the new computer security law, anyone whose computer was infected by Nimda/CodeRed could be imprisoned for life -- the new law says nothing about intent. So, basically we would have a few million Microsoft Windows users serving life sentences..." - Dan Hollis
