Building OpenSSH -Tools and Tradeoffs, for OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 on Solaris

Contributed by grey on from the portable OpenSSH is great, but having it as a default is better dept.

Thankfully, the numerous steps outlined in this article can merely be considered interesting reading for OpenBSD users. However, if you need OpenSSH on a platform where it isn't installed by default (who wouldn't in that scenario?) you should certainly find this level of detail useful.

    They recommend 3.7.1p2, that version is old and has a few (non-security) bugs. They get the meaning of some of the configure arguments wrong, especially --without-privsep-user, which doesn't do what they say. Worst of all they recommend the deactivation of privilege separation!

      Just about as bad they don't advocate using our solaris package building scripts which are more advanced than theirs. =)
