I don't want to start a fight, Matthew, but I can't just let this go by,
since I don't want to cause a misunderstanding either.

Please be sure (especially you, David) that I consider Oxygen a very useful
part of the LEAF family. I simply didn't realize these libraries were
included in the current Oxygen. Before my earlier message, I did check the
list shown at the "Packages" link from the LEAF Home Page, and found neither
library mentioned on the (presumably out-of-date) list posted there
describing the Oxygen Packages tarball.

Actually, it only needs libcrypto, not the full-blown openssl. See below.

Nope.

If I get Jacques' current sshd.lrp package and un'tgz it, I find neither
library included. If I run ldd against this sshd, I don't see libssl or
libssl09 mentioned in its dependencies. (Nor does the sshd on my Debian
workstation list libssl or libssl09 among its dependencies.) I do see
libcrypt mentioned (for both sshd apps), but not libcrypto for Jacques'
version ... since the smaller Debian sshd does depend on libcrypto, I'd
infer that Jacques linked in the libcrypto stuff statically. 

So the Oxygen package looks like the only way to get the libraries. The
executable remains a problem.
