           Summary: installing openssh on AIX takes a long time when there
                    are many users
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.0p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: AIX
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build system
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: dleonard at vintela.com


The post-install script of the AIX install uses something like 'lsusers ALL |
grep ssh' to see if the privsep user has been created.

The trouble is that invoking 'lsusers ALL' takes TWO HOURS to complete at a
particular site with thousands of users!

The simple fix to contrib/aix/buildbff.sh was:
225c225
<       if lsuser ALL | cut -f1 -d: | egrep '^'$SSH_PRIVSEP_USER'\$' >/dev/null
---
>       if lsuser "$SSH_PRIVSEP_USER" >/dev/null
