    Gack. Just gack. One may as well put one's head in a cheese grater.

    The advantages of OpenSSH over the ssh.com code are sufficiently great
    in security and flexibility that I'd strongly urge moving aside the
    ssh.com binaries and using OpenSSH instead. This is precisely what I've
    done on several Tru64 systems, and I haven't had a lick of trouble with
    the OpenSSH.

    Remember, given the death of the Alpha technology and the HP/Compaq
    merger, we can expect Tru64 support to be phased out and abandoned over
    the next years. And Tru64 *never* kept its packages that are available
    as open software up-to-date, including tar, csh, make, grep, perl, etc.,
    etc., etc.
