Re: Error when changing expired password during login

FYI, I had been compiling my SSH installs for years, but had some
problems compiling a new version of OpenSSL a few months ago, which is
why I decided to go with IBM's precompiled version. I wasn't aware
that they had made code changes which were not available to the public.

I was also using a precompiled version of OpenSSL, which was part of
the problem since the install apparently did not include the header
files, and OpenSSH will not compile without them. I finally downloaded
the latest OpenSSL source files and got the compile bugs worked out,
and I've now managed to build and install OpenSSH from the original
source as well. The forced password change problem does not appear
with this setup, so I'm a happy camper once again.

I dug a little deeper into IBM's "OpenSSH on AIX" project on
SourceForge, and discovered that this bug was reported to them back in
October with OpenSSH 4.1 on AIX 5.2, and as yet there is no indication
that anyone has even looked at it.

Environment:
OpenSSL 0.9.8a
OpenSSH 4.2p1

Thanks, Darren, for your help.
