Migrating to ptxdist 2025.05.0 I got a problem with openssh 10.0p1 (or p2,
whatever is the official name).

The openssh server does not start.

Starting it manually, I get the message:
/usr/sbin/sshd-auth does not exist or is not executable

Installing /usr/sbin/sshd-auth solves the problem.

Maybe this is due to some unfortunate combination of old libc and legacy
certificates, however in the release note of openssh 10.0.p2 I read:

"this release removes the code responsible for the user authentication
phase of the protocol from the per connection sshd-session binary to a new
sshd-auth binary..... Downstream distributors of OpenSSH will need to
package the sshd-auth binary."

In case the problem is confirmed, attached there is a patch.

Best regards,

Ruggero
