ssh setuid changes.

[Ben Lindstrom]

Ok, I'm doing a heads up here.

I just applied:

   - markus at cvs.openbsd.org 2002/06/11 04:14:26
     [ssh.c sshconnect.c sshconnect.h]
     no longer use uidswap.[ch] from the ssh client
     run less code with euid==0 if ssh is installed setuid root
     just switch the euid, don't switch the complete set of groups
     (this is only needed by sshd). ok provos@



A few comments about this..

1. I bet dollars to donuts that platforms with problems recovering from
set[e]uid() changes (NeXT,etc).

2. ssh_create_socket() changed slightly, which should only affect Cygwin.
However, looking at the code I think it just needs a glance over by the
porter to ensure no additional work is needed.

sshconnect.c:

-                       sock = ssh_create_socket(pw,
-#ifdef HAVE_CYGWIN
-                           !anonymous,
-#else
-                           !anonymous && geteuid() == 0,
-#endif
+                       sock = ssh_create_socket(needpriv, ai->ai_family);


If there is problems with having ssh setuid please speak up and
preferable with a patch so I don't have to suffer at the hands of my poor
68k-25mhz box.=)
