We wish you the best of luck.

Yes, but it is a very big project, since vxworks does not, as far as
I know, provide a POSIX-compliant or even POSIX-like environment.

We do not know. You are introducing the vxworks idea, so this is just
one of a few hundred or so (my guess) questions that you will have to
find the answer to, in order to successfully make OpenSSH run on
vxworks.

I already did, in a previous message. Please look in the list archive
if you did not receive it.

Basically, look for another SSH implementation. OpenSSH is probably
not the best choice for SSH on vxworks.
