Systems: SGI Origin 2000 IP27 running IRIX64 6.5.3f
         SGI Indy IP22 running IRIX 6.5.3f
         DEC Alpha running Digital UNIX V4.0D (Rev. 878)

Ssh version: 2.0.13

Description of bugs: compilation was fine, out-of-the-box, but...
I can't run sshd2 from inetd. I added the line
"ssh     stream  tcp nowait  root    /usr/local/sbin/sshd2   sshd2 -i"
to /etc/inetd.conf, but on a connection attempt I get on the shell
"FATAL: Connecting to aracari failed: TCP/IP Failure" and in
aracari:/var/adm/SYSLOG "aracari inetd[248]: ssh/tcp: unknown service".
This might be a SGI problem, however with ssh1 and IRIX 5.3 it worked
without doing anything else than adding an extra line to inetd.conf
and sending a HUP signal to inetd. Now I must start sshd2 from the shell
or a script in /etc/rc2.d.

Another thing that worked with ssh1 was that connecting to a computer
without ssh the connection returned automatically to rlogin. With ssh2
I get "FATAL: Connecting to aracari failed: TCP/IP Failure" and have to
make a second attempt with rlogin by hand.

Moreover, when I login with ssh2 on a SGI
1) /etc/issue is not printed
2) info about the remote system is not printed
3) info about the last login is printed incomplete (only date, not from)
4) /etc/motd and info about mailbox status are printed twice
5) some environment variables are set incorrectly, notably
   REMOTEHOST, REMOTEUSER, DISPLAY, TERM and LANG
When I log in to a DEC some of the above problems do not show up.
Some of these problems are new to ssh2, some were present also with
1.2.21, like 5).

Last, ssh2 is much slower than rsh and the documentation is incomplete:
most of the FAQs still refers to version 1.

How to repeat:
