Hi OpenSSH team,

 

I have some candidate changes to support OpenSSH on HPE NonStop ia64 and
x86. Currently this is off the 8.8 code base. The port is not 100% because
some capabilities are not available because of platform architecture issues,
including ssh-agent and proxycommand do not work correctly in the test suite
but the code is actually functional for most crucial operations including
sftp, ssh, and ssh-keygen. Would the preferred delivery method be using a
Pull Request at GitHub or sending patches here - if the contribution is
desired at all. Otherwise, we can wait for the 8.9 code base. The PR would
be a work in progress needing some advice/help from the team on some of the
issues we encountered.  A big issue is that while the POSIX APIs are
generally available, the super user is 65535 instead of 0 and super group is
255 instead of 0, so I had to account for that, and I think I have all of
the instances. I will happily contribute this and the required configure
instructions in README.platform, if this stuff is desirable.

 

Regards,

Randall Becker
