Bad packet length error

[Hari]

Thanks Pete,
I just tried with WORDS_BIGENDIAN defined and it helped solve this issue.
Apparently this is what happened:
I am using a cross-compiler for building openssh and I could not run
configure on the cross-compiler environment. I have initially run the
configure on an x86 box and used the thus created config.h and Makefile for
building in the cross-compiler env. At some point when I moved to power-pc,
I failed to modify/obtain new config.h and Makefile.

How do we handle this for different platforms when using a cross-compiler ?
Right now, I am doing an #ifdef _<PLATFORM>_ in config.h

Thanks,
Hari

I've seen this before, and at that time, it was an
endian problem.

In OpenSSH 2.9, the aes/rijndael code needed an extra #define for
little vs big endian, WORDS_BIGENDIAN.  Obviously this needs to be
set on a big endian system and not set on little endian.   Default
is to NOT set it (i.e. default is for little endian systems).

The configure script normally figures this out, but it might
have failed on your target system.   Try setting this or
unsetting it, then rebuilding rijndael.o.

No guarantee this is correct (:-) but I hope this helps,
