Re: http://openssh.org/openbsd.html

The instructions for OBSD 4.[123] are wrong. It should read "# tar xvfz .../openssh-5.1.tgz" for the second step.

Also, the link to the patch for 4.[123] seems to be broken. Maybe it is supposed to be something like <ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/openbsd43_5.1.patch >?

This means the steps for patching refer to the wrong file (maybe). At any rate, this patch does not allow OpenSSH 5.1 to build cleanly on my OpenBSD 4.3 box. Get the same error as <http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2008-07/1456.html >, but the solution is a non-starter, since I no longer know what the real name of the patch is.
