openssh-1.2.1pre21 has just been uploaded.

This incorporates yet more fixes from Andre Lucas and Ben Taylor,
Solaris and HPUX should be working properly now.

This version also fixes up the PAM support a little more, though 
there is still a spurious authentication failure message at each
log-in. Read the UPGRADING file for the gory details.

The PAM configuration file has changed slightly. If you do not 
update your local copy you may experience delays during 
authentication.

The Redhat RPM packages now include Jim Knoble's X11 ssh-askpass 
and use it by default. The old GNOME ssh-askpass is bundled as a 
seperate package. For those of you not using Redhat and who missed
Jim's announcement, this is available at:

http://www.pobox.com/~jmknoble/jmk/

Changes:

19991226
 - Enabled utmpx support by default for Solaris
 - Cleanup sshd.c PAM a little more
 - Revised RPM package to include Jim Knoble's <jmknoble at pobox.com>
   X11 ssh-askpass program.
 - Disable logging of PAM success and failures, PAM is verbose enough.
   Unfortunatly there is currently no way to disable auth failure 
   messages. Mention this in UPGRADING file and sent message to PAM 
   developers
 - OpenBSD CVS update:
   - [ssh-keygen.1 ssh.1]
     remove ref to .ssh/random_seed, mention .ssh/environment in 
     .Sh FILES, too

19991225
 - Merged fixes from Ben Taylor <bent at clark.net>
 - Fixed configure support for PAM. Reported by Naz <96na at eng.cam.ac.uk>
 - Disabled logging of PAM password authentication failures when password
   is empty. (e.g start of authentication loop). Reported by Naz
   <96na at eng.cam.ac.uk>)

Regards,
Damien Miller
