4.3p2: call for testing

Hi all.

As most folks on this list will know, OpenSSH 4.3p1 had some problems
with login recording under some configurations.  This has been resolved
in the current tree and we are looking at rolling a 4.3p2 release
to address them.  For the most part the changes are fixes only; the
ChangeLog since 4.3p1 is below in its entirety.

There's one other change that is currently still not decided, which is
the double-logging of logins on platforms that do not do descriptor
passing.

Snapshots can be found at
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/snapshot/

Test reports (20060208 or later preferred) would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
