I Cc'd him in case he has time to enlighten me on this poin= t. |=20 | lukemftpd does not use libssh, but it uses libpam. When compiled | statically, libpam contains all the PAM modules in the tree, including | pam_ssh, which uses libssh. |=20 | The whole static libpam thing is an ugly hack that I wish would go | away, but some people insist on building static versions of login(1) | and other binaries which depend on libpam. Yes, NetBSD ran into this problem as well. It was eventually solved by using a "namespace.h" trick to rename various publically visible libssh.a functions to have a prefix of "ssh_". Take a look at commits to NetBSD's src/crypto/dist/ssh around 2006/02/13 for further details. --H1spWtNR+x+ondvy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (NetBSD) iD8DBQFEZdPQpBhtmn8zJHIRAvGzAJ91HJVcrMbBK5EHyntYP5pQTOi+EACglP5K hXGeZtXHxEaTZPuVDo3M13A= =R0QA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --H1spWtNR+x+ondvy--
