26If you wish to use dynamic libraries that aren't in the normal system
27locations (eg IBM's OpenSSL and zlib packages) then you will need to
28define the environment variable blibpath before running configure, eg
29
30blibpath=/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib ./configure \
31 --with-ssl-dir=/opt/freeware --with-zlib=/opt/freeware

33If sshd is built with the WITH_AIXAUTHENTICATE option (which is enabled
34by default) then sshd checks that users are permitted via the
35loginrestrictions() function, in particular that the user has the
36"rlogin" attribute set. This check is not done for the root account,
37instead the PermitRootLogin setting in sshd_config is used.

26Cygwin
27------
28To build on Cygwin, OpenSSH requires the following packages:
29gcc, gcc-mingw-core, mingw-runtime, binutils, make, openssl,
30openssl-devel, zlib, minres, minires-devel.

62As of OpenSSH 4.3p1, sshd will no longer check /etc/nologin itself when
63PAM is enabled. To maintain existing behaviour, pam_nologin should be
64added to sshd's session stack which will prevent users from starting shell
65sessions. Alternatively, pam_nologin can be added to either the auth or
66account stacks which will prevent authentication entirely, but will still
67return the output from pam_nologin to the client.
