Ack. I've been far too busy, hadn't noticed that release. Oh, is lsh
available by ftp somewhere? I missed this snapshot because the web page
doesn't show file dates, and I was looking for 0.1.21. At least with ftp I
could "ls -ltr".
Just tried 000.2, and while it fixes the lib problem and socken_t problem,
it introduces a new one.
gmake[3]: *** No rule to make target `argp-ba.o', needed by `liblsh.a'.
Stop.
For some reason that I don't have time to research (three more minutes of
lunch left), none of the argp*.o files are being found in src/argp, though
the compile completes if I copy them up one directory level.

As an initial solution to the pty problem, Baz posted a patch to
configure.in that seems to work. I've created the resulting configure by
hand (I don't have the autoconf tools and such installed), and it gets
around the /bin/sh bug nicely, and shouldn't cause problems anywhere else.
If his solution to poll isn't accepted, I can patch the code to use
POLLRDNORM as part of the port make script.
Speaking of rolling a port, aside from this mailing list, what
documentation is available for lsh? Not everyone that can handle
su
cd /usr/ports/security/lsh
make install
is going to deal well with having to go to the mailling list for how to
set up lsh to be useful. I haven't seen anything describing how to set up
the .lsh directory within the snapshots or to set up host authentication.
I know that lsh is under development so hasn't been documented, but I
think lsh is usable enough now.
