    Hi,
    well nice suggestion BUT it is not good to rely on a md5sum posted by someone in a newsgroup. The proper way to do a verifcation of your
    version is to do a gpg --verify openssh-3.4p1.tar.gz.sig after you have importet the key DJM-GPG-KEY.asc (with gpg --import DJM-GPG-
    KEY.asc) to be found in the portable directory of OpenSSH. We just checked it here and the tarball of openssh-3.4p1 reports a BAD
    signature (we made a negative control with the tarball of openssh-3.2.3p1 which gave us a GOOD signature, so the key seems to work...)

    BTW: I think you have to check your untouched tarball - cause the shellscript seems to remove itself from Makefile.in in openbsd-compat...
