Odds & Ends: OpenSSH; Conflict Catcher conflict?; more

Building OpenSSH 2.9 on Mac OS X 10.0.x A stepwise.com article states: "Apple recently released the first patch to Mac OS X 10.0, updating it to 10.0.1. This upgrade includes OpenSSH, but for some reason it is a fairly old revision, 2.3.0, while the current version is 2.9p1. This article tells you how to replace Apple's out-dated binary with the most current version." It appears that situation remains unchanged for 10.0.2.

Conflict Catcher conflict? Takuo Yasuda writes: "After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.0.2, Conflict Catcher 8.0.8 no longer recognized that it was booting into the Classic environment and therefore failed to switch to a set (called 'Mac OS X Classic' in my case) which it was supposed to switch to when starting into the Classic environment. The preference was still set correctly (e.g., 'Mac OS X Classic' was the set that it was supposed to use when booting into the Classic environment)."

SoftRAID and OS X: working OK? Regarding our previous report of a SoftRAID conflict in OS X, Jerry Tompkins replies: " I've noted no such problem after downloading and applying the beta firmware upgrade for my Initio Miles2 SCSI card. Both of the Seagate Barracuda (7200 RPM) drives are formatted with SoftRAID and, thanks to the Initio beta firmware upgrade, appear on the Mac OS X desktop and function with no problems. I've formatted them individually and also as Raid 0 with no problems with Mac OS X."
