OpenSSH solaris: bad return code after exec of remote command

[David Batterham]

Guys,

I too can happily report that the patch Markus posted seems to have fixed the
problem. I now consistently get the correct return codes.

Thanks to all of you for your efforts. This was an important factor for me in
being able to do what I wanted with openssh, and being the first time I have
posted to this list (I have only just started to use openssh), I was pleased
with the quick response from all concerned. In fact, the patch came so quickly I
had to find the time to apply and test it!

Regs,
Dave
