Change to OpenSSH - HomeDirectory



What is the process to change third party code? I needed a change to openssh which I think is generally useful. Here is the bugzilla report that I submitted to the OpenSSH project:

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1951

Unfortunately it seems to be stalled and I would prefer not to keep changing my local copy.

So, a couple of questions. First of all, does this look like a reasonable enhancement? This was worked out by david@ and myself. Neither of us could come up with a cleaner method to do what this option does,

Second, if it is considered useful, is there a process to get approval to change third party modules like this or do I have to wait for OpenSSH to approve it, get it into a release and then wait for NetBSD to pick up the new release?
