I have tried to build ssh-1.2.26 and ssh-1.2.27 from the source packages, but they don't work. During the build a key is generated, and this procedure hangs with p......................................................... (and this goes on for hours) Then I have tried building ssh2-2.0.13, and this one works. Unfortunately, ssh2 falls back to ssh1 when an ssh1 client tries to connect, and this doesn't work anymore. I think it has something to do with glibc 2.1. The FAQ of glibc 2.1 mentions major changes in libm, so the problem might be there. Anyone with a slink system (glibc 2.0.x) should try to build ssh and the new gmp2 to see where the problem is. My system is a SS20 (2xSuperSPARC, sun4m), 64 MB RAM with kernel 2.2.9 and 2.2.10 (UNIX98 pty support) and an up-to-date potato installation (libc6-2.1.1-9).
