Summary:                    Sshd version OpenSSH_5.4p1 refuses to start on SPARC
Solaris 10 zone
Description: 
Today I installed lots of packages from current repository to a new Solaris
10 zone. One of the packages was CSWossh. Version OpenSSH_5.4p1, OpenSSL
0.9.8m 25 Feb 2010 outputs error message "derelativise_path: getcwd:
Invalid argument" and refuses to start.

Previous version, OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009, which I
installed about a week ago runs without any problems.

I think the AuthorizedKeysFileis a side effect of the real problem.

The new function derelativise_path() in servconf.c calls getcwd(NULL,0)
and using zero for the size is unsupported on Solaris. This usage is
supported in the GNU libraries though.
