I don't see how you can be getting the results you're getting. Solaris
8 is one of my test platforms and I'm pretty sure it works. Would you
please do the steps exactly as described at:
http://www.zip.com.au/~dtucker/openssh/
(ie the part starting with "The basic procedure is") and mail me the
entire output at the email address in the footer of this message?

The 3.7.1p2 out-of-the-box code won't do what you want (I don't think so,
anyway).
