As for the OpenSSH thing, I'd suggest adding "--with-md5-passwords" to
your variables when running ./configure. That's one annoying detail I've
run into installing OpenSSH on Slackware -- OpenSSH assumes that unless
the system has PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) support, it doesn't
use MD5 passwords. Veeery annoying. And on systems that *do* use PAM
(i.e. RedHat), you have to copy the sshd.pam file in the contrib directory
to /etc/pam.d/sshd or wherever.
Look at it this way: When I discovered this minor fluke, I was installing
OpenSSH on a 486/25, I believe. (Not mine.) Boy, did that compile take a
long time.
(I'd say this is a pretty good guess for having no details aside from the
distribution. ;)
Hope this helps.
