I'm trying to compile the new version of OpenSSH in OpenBSD 3.5, but
when I get to "ssh-keygen", it complains about the "strtonum()"
function. AFAIK, this function was introduced with OpenBSD 3.6, so
there's no chance that I can get to compile that piece without modifying
the source code.

My question is: is it ok if I replace the newest ssh-keygen.c with an
older one that does not contain that function? Yesterday I tried that
and it seemed to work, but I don't want to do that if I'm possibly
breaking something.


Looking at the diff it's only used in option parsing so it shouldn't
break anything too badly.  It's not supported, though, so if it does
break then you get to keep both pieces.


Is there any other way to get around this?


Use the Portable version of OpenSSH.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
