Sorry, but the inet_ntop change was just a hack, not a proper solution.
For correctness such a change should be looking for inet_ntop in both 
libresolv and libnsl (for Solaris 8-10).
Note though that Solaris 7 does not declare this function in the headers.

For killpg vs. kill I'm just patching sshd.c, changing the single use of 
killpg to kill.
I don't know if this is universally acceptable and I only know of IRIX 
which has this issue. It might not actually cause any problems to use 
killpg, but as the manpage says results can be unpredictable.
