NeXTSTEP support
Hi,

I read that support for NeXT is in the works, what can I do to help? Is
there currently anyone working on it, or should I do it?

I guess I should field this.

I currently have a very nasty patch set for 1.2.3pre3 to let it compile
under NeXTStep 4.2 .. It mostly works. There are a few errors it
spews out, and signal support is a bit spotty in readpass.c

If you want to have a copy of my current 1.2.3pre3 tree that's fine.
I plan on putting out a patchset for 1.2.3 final in the next day.

And hopefully some smaller patches that will be accepted into
the core OpenSSH software until I feel happy with the major
of the patches.

BTW.. I don't use the libposix.a due to all the bugs, so the patch
is a decent size.

Hmmm... I use NeXTSTEP on an HP, which is only supported by 3.3. Due to
the vageries of NeXT, if you build it from 4.2 it won't run on my machine.

I'd appreciate it. I'd really like ssh on my HP, and even the port of the
non-free SSH doesn't run on it.

I wouldn't, myself :)
