A little late now... after several days of hacking around, i finally got
it to work... i think that the netbsd distribution structure is a little
hard to navigate... why isn't ssh part of the regular distribution? why is
it in such an odd location without links?  i spent hours looked all
around in NetBSD-1.4/pmax/ and arch/pmax/ and saw nothing... oh well...
