OpenSSH-3.5p1: sshd fails at run-time

[Jacob Schroeder]

Dave,

Thanks for your quick reply!

I did do this build locally.  The directory /var/empty is there already.  

I created the /var/run directory just now and tried again, here's the latest
output...

bash-2.02# mkdir /var/run
bash-2.02# cd /usr/local/sbin  
bash-2.02# sshd -ddd -p 1234 
debug3: Seeding PRNG from /usr/local/libexec/ssh-rand-helper
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_3.5p1
debug1: private host key: #0 type 0 RSA1
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: private host key: #1 type 1 RSA
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: private host key: #2 type 2 DSA
debug1: Bind to port 1234 on 0.0.0.0.
Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 1234.
Generating 768 bit RSA key.
RSA key generation complete.
debug1: Server will not fork when running in debugging mode.
Connection from 172.20.1.13 port 1186
debug1: Client protocol version 2.0; client software version OpenSSH_3.5p1
debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.5p1 pat OpenSSH*
debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
debug1: Local version string SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.5p1
mmap(65536): Device doesn't exist
debug1: Calling cleanup 0x1a78c(0x0)
bash-2.02# 

Looks like it's that mmap thing, I did see a few posts (arguments) about
that function in the archives, but I didn't see a solution mentioned.  Any
ideas?

Thanks

Jacob
