We have over 150 casinos that are using our system running aix 32 bit mode with huge 32 bit DB2 databases. A lot are still using AIX 5.2 which isn't even supported by IBM any more, but we can't seem to get them to move up to newer versions of anything. So we still have to support aix 5.2 32 bit kernels
anyway, with your patch I recompiled everything and ran the make test, which did complete all tests successfully. Ithen recompiled the latest openssh using the new openssl compile and reran my original tests and the ssh is now working as expected. dean On 05/16/2012 05:45 AM, Andy Polyakov via RT wrote: >> I rebooted the box, a IBM 44 Model 170 with a "PowerPC_POWER3" CPU with >> "realmem 2097152", just to make sure there was nothing else affecting >> the compile. >> >> I then recompiled using the "./config" with no flags.
