Yep, confirmed, it does that.  But it always did, unless autoconf
dealt with it.  I believe if you install it using your system's
package manager, it will not do that.  I recommend doing that... most
major distributions now have rssh in their package repositories.

That said, it's annoying behavior.  However it's not a security bug,
and I'm not really fixing anything else at this point.  I'll flag this
though so that if I ever do need to release a new version, I'll fix
this too.

The good news is 2.3.3 is a year and a half old, and it seems pretty
unlikely at this point that I'll release another version, so you'll
probably never have to  worry about this ever again.  If you need to
update other systems, just save your config file aside first.


Thanks
