I have just uploaded 1.2.1pre18.

This is mainly merges from the OpenBSD tree, bugfixes for Solaris
and libc5 Linux systems. It should fix all reported bugs except the
snprintf problems on some older Solaris versions.

Please test thoroughly, my hope is to have a stable version 
released before Jan 1. At this point the main holdup is Solaris.

I have had to disbale direct downloads from violet.ibs.com.au,
demand for OpenSSH is saturating our little ISDN connection. 
I notice that:

ftp://ftp.localhost.ca/pub/openssh/files/ (Canada)
ftp://ftp.firedrake.org/openssh/files/ (UK)
ftp://thermo.stat.ncsu.edu/pub/openssh/files/ (USA *only*)

have already updated.

Regards,
Damien
