References? I'm pretty sure it's not a US-only patent. After all, IDEA
is owned by a Swiss company. Anyway, ssh1 and ssh2 are incompatible in
other ways.

You have to use absolute filenames (you might get away with using
paths relative from wherever lshd's working directory will be, but I
wouldn't recommend that). Do you have any concrete suggestions on how
to make that clearer?
One might make the configure script smarter, and replace
# Default sshd1 path
if test x$with_sshd1 = xyes ; then
with_sshd1=/usr/local/sbin/sshd1
fi
with a call of AC_PATH_PROG. Last time this was discussed on the list,
my conclusion was that it was better to be predictable than smart. But
perhaps I should change my mind.
