Hi all. For those that didn't know it, the OpenSSH portable team has been collecting survey data about the platforms that it runs and the options that it is built with. Partitipation is entirely voluntary and is as simple as running "make send-survey" after building (see the INSTALL file for details and caveats). I've used the data to answer a couple of questions on this list recently. (If you didn't know this and want to participate then go do it now, we'll wait :-) In INSTALL we said that we may publish summary data. We haven't to date, but since I extracted some to satisfy my own curiousity I thought I'd share it with the list. It's skewed towards the systems that we have access to (there's no reports from IRIX or Tru64, for example). 94 total reports breakdown by operating system (uname) 29.8 Linux 25.5 SunOS 7.4 FreeBSD 7.4 AIX 4.3 OpenBSD 4.3 NetBSD 4.3 SCO_SV 4.3 UnixWare 3.2 HP-UX 3.2 Darwin 2.1 CYGWIN_NT-5.1 2.1 UNIX_SV 1.1 sco42 1.1 QNX breakdown by architecture 59.6 i386 24.5 sparc 10.6 powerpc 2.1 hppa2.0n 1.1 hppa2.0w 1.1 x86_64 1.1 sparc64 breakdown by compiler 27.7 gcc 3.3.x 19.1 gcc 3.4.x 17.0 gcc 2.95.x 7.4 gcc 4.0.x 6.4 gcc 3.2.x 5.3 CCS 3.2 Sun C 3.2 gcc 2.96.x 3.2 gcc 4.1.x 3.2 gcc 2.7.x 1.1 ccache gcc 1.1 egcs 2.91.66 1.1 icc 1.1 /usr/bin/gcc 3.3.x breakdown by configure options 27.7 --with-privsep-path 25.5 --prefix 24.5 --with-tcp-wrappers 18.1 --sysconfdir 16.0 --with-pam 14.9 --with-default-path 11.7 --without-zlib-version-check 10.6 --with-superuser-path 9.6 --mandir 9.6 --with-zlib 8.5 --disable-etc-default-login 8.5 --with-privsep-user 7.4 --localstatedir 7.4 --infodir 7.4 --with-kerberos5 7.4 --with-ssl-dir 6.4 --with-pid-dir 5.3 --libexecdir 5.3 --datadir 4.3 --with-md5-passwords 3.2 --with-xauth 3.2 --with-prngd-socket 3.2 --with-mantype 3.2 --disable-suid-ssh 3.2 --with-cflags 2.1 --sharedstatedir 2.1 --with-audit 2.1 --with-lastlog 2.1 --with-libedit 2.1 --without-kerberos5 2.1 --with-ldflags 2.1 --with-skey 1.1 --without-privsep-path 1.1 --without-libedit 1.1 --without-rpath 1.1 --without-rsh 1.1 --with-rand-helper 1.1 --with-cppflags 1.1 --build 1.1 --without-privsep-user 1.1 --disable-strip 1.1 --without-opensc 1.1 --without-skey 1.1 --without-pam 1.1 --with-random 1.1 --host 1.1 --with-prngd-port -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience.
