yes, everything is updated
I finally got it to compile
but install says

id sshd || \
        echo "WARNING: Privilege separation user \"sshd\" does not exist"
id: sshd: No such user


Gerald,

Think about it: the last known vulnerability took advantage of the daemon running as root (someone will correct me if I'm wrong on the user!!!), I am looking at an unpatched RaQ4 that does not have an sshd user in /etc/passwd. They need you to create an sshd user.

I'll remember that. So what was the trick to complete the compilation? Perseverance?

Thanks,
Glenn
