           Summary: improve portability of some shell constructs
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://bugs.debian.org/258517
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Miscellaneous
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: cjwatson at debian.org


David Weinehall reported in Debian bug #258517 that OpenSSH uses the XSI
extension 'test -a', and some /bin/sh implementations (mostly of the kind
designed for use in small systems) don't like this. The fixes are easy and in
line with other shell code in OpenSSH; I'll attach the patch in a moment.
