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

 - Added BSD compatible install program

 - More Solaris fixes

 - Added new sshd.pam.generic which should work better on non-Redhat 
   systems.

 - Beginnings of AIX support

 - SuSE RPM spec file and .src.rpm package 

 - Build system bugfixes

 - Lots of bugfixes included from OpenBSD CVS. 
   - Cleaner ssh-askpass support (please read ssh-add.1 for new syntax)
   - Instantly reusable forwarding ports
   - No more zombie children
   - SecureCRT fixes.

Outstanding issues:
