Just as I was about to complain that nothing much was happening with openssh, djm goes and commits a bunch of changes (including the fix for the compile error mentioned in the previous diary entry).

It looks like the core team was busy syncing with OpenBSD ssh tree, but from a contributor's point of view, all I saw was queries going unanswered and patches ignored. It would have been nice to know that was happening rather than just silence. Added a "Syncing" tree state to the tinderbox to reflect this. I have no idea if any of the core team even look at the tinderbox, but I'm hoping it'll prove useful enough that they'll want to use it.

The changes resulted in a couple of build errors on a few platforms (Solaris, early AIX, HP-UX and anything using PAM). One is an easy fix, not sure about the other.

Updated the patches for some outstanding bugs (14, 442, 463) . 14 and 463 overlap and are a bit out of sync with each other, if one gets merged I'll update the other.

Got a thank-you and patch from a happy user of the OpenSSH AIX package builder which was nice.

In an attempt to help the persistent person getting 404's from a short URL ("/tinderbox" instead of "/tinderbox/") I added a RewriteRule to redirect them to the right place.
