Hi,

some time ago someone asked about feedback on OpenSSL and OpenSSH on
MIPS. Here's mine for IRIX 5.3 on R4k:

OpenSSL 0.9.7f builds flawlessly except for this:

UX:ls: ERROR: Cannot access /usr/local/pkg/lib/libcrypto.so.300: No such
file or directory
UX:ls: ERROR: Cannot access /usr/local/pkg/lib/libcrypto.so.300.1: No
such file or directory
UX:ls: ERROR: Cannot access /usr/local/pkg/lib/libssl.so.300: No such
file or directory
UX:ls: ERROR: Cannot access /usr/local/pkg/lib/libssl.so.300.1: No such
file or directory
===> Registering installation for openssl-0.9.7f
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/local/pkg/lib/libcrypto.so.300'
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/local/pkg/lib/libcrypto.so.300.1'
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/local/pkg/lib/libssl.so.300'
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/local/pkg/lib/libssl.so.300.1'

maybe these files should just be removed from PLIST.irix?
What do things look like on IRIX 6?

One additional problem remains:

when building a package that depends on openssl, e.g. net/bind9,
compiling fails due to missing libcrypto.so.0.9.7. Indeed, the
respective link is not being created in work/.buildlink/lib, nor is the
one for libcrypto.0.9.7.so. Any ideas why?


openssh-3.9.1nb5 builds just fine. However, I have trouble using sshd.
After building a DSA test hostkey (with empty password) I start

/usr/local/pkg/sbin/sshd -D -h `pwd`/test -ddd -p 2222 -e -o "Protocol
2"

Now if I ssh on port 2222 as user schwarz into that machine I get
(output on the server):


....
debug2: input_userauth_request: try method keyboard-interactive
debug1: keyboard-interactive devs 
debug1: auth2_challenge: user=schwarz devs=
debug1: kbdint_alloc: devices ''
debug2: auth2_challenge_start: devices 
Failed keyboard-interactive for schwarz from 192.168.0.1 port 2749 ssh2
 [this is where the client waits for the password]
 [after entering the password:]
debug3:  entering
debug3: : user not authenticated
Failed password for schwarz from 192.168.0.1 port 2749 ssh2


It look like sshd cannot check the password. Could it be the reason that
I am running shadow passwords on the machine?

When I run sshd the same way but as root, when a client connects the
daemon terminates like this before the client gets to the password
prompt:

...
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: private host key: #0 type 2 DSA
debug1: inetd sockets after dupping: 3, 3

debug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug2: Network child is on pid 20482
debug3: preauth child monitor started
debug3:  entering
debug1: do_cleanup

Any idea what is going wrong here??? A permission problem maybe?
