Please note my comments that follow only applies if you have a lower vesion
than 5.0.6. I happen to have the ancient history version known as 5.0.5 here
in house. I bow to JP's expertise on 5.0.6. I still am wonder however if JP
has made other assumptions about dependencies he already has installed.

Ok, now this admitted NOVICE is now 1.5 hours into trying to get it to
compile on a 5.0.5 with both cc and gcc, I can comment.

I want to use a phrase I have heard from you JP:  BULLSHIT!

For the guy who posted the question: I would assume since you asked for
binaries, you might be sort of like me (AND THE VAST MAJORITY) - you are NOT
a frigging expert at building and installing libs, hacking makefiles,
installing dependencies, etc. etc. I'll bet you just hoped there was a way
for the common person to install a recognized industry standard technology,
such as sshd, on your SCO Unix box, right?

If that is the case, I would recommend you download the RPM stuff from
Celestial and do what I suggested.  Shoooo, no wonder I call my self a
compiler sissy. That old version of SSH is likely to have security flaws,
but is apparently is the best we can do for the vast majority of us who
don't have a high degree of expertise. I can't find a newer one anywhere.
Thanks so much to Bill at Celestial for making that work available to us
common folk.

You know, I think Caldera should hire Bill Campbell has the new CEO for the
OpenServer division. As we all sit and watch OpenServer die on the vine and
Linux and everything else take over, maybe those of authority should ask
"What do consumers of our product want?".

Now. I will go take a valium (as if I had one), and play with my Linux box
that either comes with all that popular, industry standard shit already
included, or has a simple mechanism, called RPM for all us common folk to
install it.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission.
