Hey, I am haveing some trouble installing ssh for some reason. I am trying to use the port that came with 2.2.6 It will start the /usr/ports/security/ssh/work/ssh-1.2.22/configure script and that does all the configuring until it reaches the part where configure is trying to install for X...it searches for some xutils but then the script fails with...: checking for xauth... no configure: error: configuring with X but xauth not found - aborting su-2.01# but here is the really wierd part...xauth does exist...I can even execute it. su-2.01#locate xauth /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth /usr/X11R6/man/man1/xauth.1.gz su-2.01#/usr/X11R6/xauth /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority Using authority file /root/.Xauthority xauth> I am stumped I even checked the configure script for path problems but the ac_help string was pointing to /usr/X11R6/bin also those strings were confusing.... Anyway I was hoping that maybe someone has had this prolem and might be able to give me a hand...I really need to install ssh or some authentication software, I caught someone sniffing passwords...I think that it is time to encrypt sensative transactions.
