I wasn't suggesting it's a bug (I didn't track it down well enough when I experienced it), I was saying that trying to solve it by bogusly copying libs around would mean that you'd be more likely to get bitten by the still-existing problem on your system, when we moved to elf. That'd be because the libs in /usr/lib would then be elf, and ssh would still be trying to use the aout libs (unless you freshly recompiled it). The fix would be really making it look at /usr/lib/aout for libc (which mine does), not copying the up to date libc from /usr/lib/aout to /usr/lib. In other words, find the real problem, don't mask it. > -- > John Polstra jdp@polstra.com > John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
