openssh-2.5.1p[1,2] and scp-problems on Solaris7

[Jürgen Ellinger]

Hi,

I'm not subscribed to that list, so please keep me in cc, if you decide
to answer my question

I'm trying to compile and install openssh for some solaris7-machines.
Everything works fine, but I'm continuously failing to connect openssh's
sshd with scp:

 I've tried openssh-2.5.1p1: the daemon died with signal 11 (SIG_SEGV) - 
sure I've read the hint on that list 
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=98322740311031&w=2),
and with the described workaround the daemon no longer crashes - but
the whole transaction hangs. In the meantime openssh-2.5.1p2 appeared
and
I tested, whether the problems are fixed in this version. Without any
patch the daemon does not crash, but the communication still is hanging.
The daemon starts a shell, the shell execs a 'scp -t <filename>' and
nothing happens. A traceback of the running process (done with Solaris
proctool) shows, that scp seems to block while reading (from a socket,
I suppose). I tried to contact the server with several implementations
of the client (linux, solaris, ssh, openssh etc), but I cant get the
stuff working.

So if anybody on the list has an helpful hint I would be very happy.
Feel free to ask if you need more information about config params or
something like that.

Thanks in advance!

Jürgen
