(Unfortunately, the configuration files are completely > different and incompatible with OpenSSH). 5.1.a -- But if you would look down the message a bit, you would see: SSH Version 1.2.27 [alpha-dec-osf5.1], protocol version 1.5. The problem with upgrading (building) ssh on Tru64 from 1.2.27 to OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 turns out to be all of the pre-requisites. There are more of them, and they less than trivially upgraded, than it first appears. (The setloads I found have even more problems.) After spending about 18 hours on the project, I have abandoned it in favor of simply transferring things via OSX which can talk to both versions of ssh. Of course, if Freebsd-alpha could deal with BSD disk labels, then there would be no problem at all. I could just cross mount the disks as I can between Tru64 and SuSE (nice thing about StoragWorks shelves). ... note that I'm believing the documentation here -- which says that a FreeBSD disk is not compatible with any other "xBSD" or Linux. And the fact that I know that TRU64 labeled disks were not acceptable to bsdlabel on FreeBSD when I tried to mount them. T.T.F.N. William H.
