    Same thing in AIX 4.2.1.0 and HP-UX 10.20/11.00, previously configured as
    Trusted System.

    #  Hi Emre,
    #  
    #  We have tested OpenBSD and NetBSD, and have found
    #  that they do not experience this vulnerability, 
    #  even with ssh 3.0.0 installed.
    #  
    #  This is most likely due to the method used to encrypt the 
    #  password in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow.
    #  
    #  Best Regards,
    #  
    #  Steph

    #  I don't want to drag this boring thread any longer, but in
    #  your advisory, it stated that OpenBSD and NetBSD were
    #  not vulnerable.  So...if I install SSH 3.0.0 on one of those
    #  (even though the already come with openssh), ssh will not
    #  be vulnerable to this bug?  Or will it?  I think that part
    #  created a little confusion.
    #
