Yes I get this under Solaris 8. However, I've only just started with openssh,
so checking the FAQ (where the problem is listed) I simply ran configure with
--with-default-path=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

It runs fine then. For configure I use:

./configure --with-tcp-wrappers --with-catman=man
--with-default-path=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

TCP wrappers because I have it; catman because the man pages come out
'weird' without it; default path because of the scp problem you mention.

Otherwise 2.1.0p2 seems to work fine - sshd stays running; no utmp problem;
no bad file number messages; no fixprogs problem.

Regards,

John.

I think sshd is looking for scp in /usr/bin. Just make a link in /usr/bin.

Cheers,

Yeah, what happens is configure isn't smart enought to put the --prefix=
value into your default path for sshd, Annoying as all getout, but fixable
by symlinking scp to /usr/bin.
