    Hello,

    Recently we have upgraded some of our systems to AIX 5.2. Now that this has
    occurred, I have run into issues trying to compile OpenSSH 3.6.1p2 with the
    Multi-platform Password Expiry patch (22). Below are the steps I have taken
    so far:

    configure is run with the following flags, --with-tcp-wrappers,
    --with-ssl-dir, --with-zlib
    Unfortunately, the compile fails with the following message:

    A google search on the phrase "too few arguments to function `loginfailed'"
    turns up this page:
    http://msgs.securepoint.com/cgi-bin/get/openssh-unix-dev-0306/38.html

    Basically, it looks like loginfailed() takes a 4th argument. It goes on to
    reference a discussion and a quick fix at:
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=105223097117841

    This is where it gets a bit hazy for me. I do not know C.
    The fix from the second website looks like this

    > From the man page, I'm guessing that you need to add "#include
    > <sys/audit.h>" to the top of auth.c and add
    > a 4th paramter (AUDIT_FAIL_AUTH) to the loginfailed() call. The modified
    > code will look like:

    > #ifdef WITH_AIXAUTHENTICATE
    > loginfailed(user,
    > get_canonical_hostname(options.verify_reverse_mapping),
    > "ssh", AUDIT_FAIL_AUTH);
    > #endif

    in auth.c I change the code to look like the following
    on line 26 I add: #include <sys/audit.h>
    on line 404 I modify it to look like: "ssh", AUDIT_FAIL_AUTH);
    on line 631 I modify it to look like: "ssh", AUDIT_FAIL_AUTH);

    on a subseqent make, I now get the following error:
