Call for testing: OpenSSH 8.0

[Markus Schmidt]

Build and tests ok on macOS 10.14.4 with

Using LibreSSL 2.6.5 (self built with vanilla ./configure )

Then snapshot from 20190328 was built with
	./configure --with-ssl-path=<path-to-libre>

Tests are all ok.


However, the when running a debug sshd, it fails password authentication 
(neither through password nor kbd-interactive).  Not sure if macOS 
requires special build options for this.  Tried with --with-use-pam with 
no difference.  I saw various instructions on how to build it (most seem 
to  include homebrew, which I don't have), but have not made extensive 
tests.

(It turns out it also happens with an older official version on an older 
macOS (7-4p1 on macOS 10.9), so it's doesn't look like it specific to 
the 8.0 snapshot.)

I'll see if I can dig into it.

Meanwhile if someone knows something about it, please let me know.
