openssh-1.2.1pre23 is available on:

http://violet.ibs.com.au/openssh/files/

Highlights of this release:

- - A cleanup of the PAM code (it now lives in auth-pam.[ch]). This
also fixes a bug where sshd was ignoring a "PermitRootLogin
without-password" directive.

- - David Randkin's SOCKS support using the Dante libraries. I have not
tested this because I don't have Dante. Instructions and links to
Dante are in the INSTALL document.

- - Automatically detect path to perl installation

- - Fixed broken --wth-default-path option

- - Much tidying up of source files, etc.

- - Portability fixes
