[ OS: Solaris 2.8 ]
Curious why 'moduli' is installed in the "--sysconfdir'
directory?
Isn't this machine-independent and therefore should go in the
"--datadir" directory?
Also, it seems to me that the datadir/sysconfdir/sharedstatedir/
localstatedir would be more useful if they were set up (or further
expanded) to better support packaging of OpenSSH.
For example, the binaries, man pages, 'moduli' and
'ssh_prng_cmd'
files are "machine independent" (for a given architecture) and
should be installable under their own, site-wide distributable
package. (i.e., under something like
/usr/local/pkg/openssh-3.5p1/bin
/sbin
/etc
)
The machine-specific files, such as 'sshd_config' and
'ssh_host_key',
etc. should be able to be separated into a machine-specific package
As it stands now, the host keys, moduli and ssh_prng_cmd files all
live in the same directory, requiring that non-machine-specific data
be stored in the machine-specific location that contains the host keys.
I can't find any easy way to make this split (machine independent
vs. machine specific) given the current build system without modifying
pathnames.h and Makefile.in.
Comments or suggestions?
