openssh-1.2.1pre20 has been released at:

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

This release integrates more of Andre Lucas' portability patch, Ben
Taylor's utmpx patch and some cleanups and bugfixes of my own.

The auth-passwd failures should be fixed, as should lastlog support on
NetBSD.

Since Andre Lucas' patch included platform detection, we should use
it to set appropriate compiler flags. I recall some discussion about
solaris needing special flags to get openssh to compile. These can now
be set by autoconf (if you tell me what they are).

The PAM support has been slightly cleaned up and I have fixed a small
bug in the authentication (auth_password was not being tried with an
empty password for PAM first). This has necessitated a small change to
the PAM config file.

I am very interested to hear how this release compiles on Solaris, 
HPUX and AIX.
