tar distribution question

Hi,

Perhaps I've done something wrong... Today I went to www.openssh.com and
downloaded the ftp file from the Canadian site, gunzipped and extracted the tar
file and found:

- No configure script
- No INSTALL file
- A BSDish makefile that won't compile under linux

INSTALL and configure are in the CVS attic.

What am I doing wrong?

You more then likely downloaded the OpenBSD version.

http://violet.ibs.com.au/openssh/

Is the site that has the more portable version of OpehSSH.

Doh! I see the link now to 'Linux, Solaris, AIX, IRIX, HP/UX'. Is it Friday
yet?
