PATH problem in Irix.

[Andrew Daviel]

I recently compiled openssh 3.4p1 for SGI Irix, and found the same problem
I'd had with 2.5.

Viz. that Irix /usr/include/paths.h defines _PATH_USERPATH, not USER_PATH,
so that defines.h doesn't find it and we get the default, which is missing
/usr/bsd (which on Irix has things like head, more, lpr) and /usr/bin/X11.
This annoys the users, who want X11 to work.


I added a test to defines.h, as follows:

--- openssh-3.4p1/defines.h     Mon Jun 24 09:26:49 2002
+++ defines.h   Sun Jul  7 00:33:08 2002

There's also a _PATH_ROOTPATH  defined for root defaults, but I didn't try 
to implement that for root login.
