Thanks for running these tests.

This should be fixed in HEAD.

Not sure what this one is, it's possible it was fixed by the same commit
as the NetBSD one, but it's hard to tell. I'll have to try and install it
on a VM to replicate.

It looks like some shell initialisation is producing extra output for
non-interactive shells. This could be something in .bashrc (or similar)
that would better live in .bash_profile (or similar). It will break all
sorts of tests :)

We should probably do a better job of autoconfiguring the default privsep
directory. Until then it's best to pas an explicit --with-privsep-path
to configure. I think the right one for Debian is /var/run/sshd.
