No struct cmsghdr - what to do ?

[David M. Williams]

Which OS are we talking about?

If this is a new OS port of OpenSSH then you are going to have to do a 
couple of things:

1.  patch configure.ac to recognize the OS and to pick up compatability 
code in openssh/openbsd-compat/.
2.  write code to provide cmsghdr support for your OS.  The files go in 
openbsd-compat/ and follow the naming convention bsd-<your OS name 
here>.(c/h).  

If you want some descriptions of how this works search the archives for 
either Corinna Vinschen's or Wendy Palm's postings over the last 6 
months or so.  They both support unique OS's and have followed this model.

Good Luck,

Dave
