Description Ray Zuniga 2003-03-25 04:54:08 AEDT 
In versions of openssh 3.2.3p1 and later, the defines.h file was modified and
the following was added:

#ifdef HAVE_PATHS_H
#  include <paths.h> /* For _PATH_XXX */
#endif

Unfortunately the above comes after the inclusion of defines.h (through
config.h) which sets _PATH_STDPATH to USER_PATH if it has been defined in the
configure file.  The result of which resets _PATH_STDPATH back to the system
default and not what was computed during the configure run.

Once compiled, this results in execution failures if the command being run is
not located under the PATH of the system default _PATH_STDPATH.

I don't see this in the current code. includes.h includes paths.h fairly early
and pulls in defines.h very close to the end.

Can you confirm with CVS head or 3.6.1p2?
Comment 2 Ray Zuniga 2003-05-16 03:04:23 AEST 
Yes this is no longer a problem in version 3.6.1p2.  I had no problems compiling
this time.
