Description Colin Watson 2004-07-10 22:45:49 AEST

David Weinehall reported in Debian bug #258517 that OpenSSH uses the XSI
extension 'test -a', and some /bin/sh implementations (mostly of the kind
designed for use in small systems) don't like this. The fixes are easy and in
line with other shell code in OpenSSH; I'll attach the patch in a moment.
