OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 on Compaq Alpha

[Hans-Georg Pabst]

Hello,

I have installed OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 on a DEC AlphaServer 4000 under Tru64 UNIX 4.0F
and on a DEC AlphaStation 200 under Tru64 UNIX 5.1.

I tested Protocol 2 and 1 with RAS authentication resp. DSA authentication an
both work well.

There is one bug: I cannot view the man pages for OpenSSH under Compaq Tru64
UNIX. Are they in a special format which is not understood by the Tru64 UNIX man
command?

Here, I want to contribute a boot script for sshd under Tru64 UNIX:

#!/sbin/sh
#
# Purpose: Start sshd for OpenSSH at boot time.
#          For Compaq Alpha (Tru64 UNIX 4.0F and 5.1).
