Description David Leonard 2008-07-24 22:05:42 AEST 
On AIX 4.3.3, there is no sin6_scope_id field in struct sockaddr_in6. 

Here is my hideous workaround.

--- openssh/addrmatch.c
+++ openssh/addrmatch.c
@@ -97,7 +97,11 @@
 			return -1;
 		xa->af = AF_INET6;
 		memcpy(&xa->v6, &in6->sin6_addr, sizeof(xa->v6));
+#ifdef _AIX
+		xa->scope_id = 0;
+#else
 		xa->scope_id = in6->sin6_scope_id;
+#endif
 		break;
 	default:
 		return -1;

And, yes, I am painfully aware that AIX 4.3.3 is hideously out of date :(

This affects more thatn AIX. I've commited a fix that works on my platforms and should work for your old AIX.
Please test the next snapshot and re-open this bug if it does not work
for you.
