No harm beyond getting it built right (no binary installs from woody/sid into potato), and realizing that security.debian.org won't automagically post fixes for that package. Something like: apt-get source ssh cd (opensshdir) grep Build-Depends: debian/control (install those packages, possibly edit the Depends: line of debian/control if they've entered something that simply doesn't exist in potato) dpkg-buildpackage cd .. ; dpkg -i ssh*deb -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
