There are protocol issues to deal with.
Bring back this routine (renamed to avoid a library conflict in libssh)
and overhaul it for more 21st Century style coding.

Limit the "pathname" glob to one item, as that is what all users of it
are expecting, except for LIST.
Always glob, instead of when the first character is a ~. For example,
if you had directories ~/x1, and ~/x2, then "cwd x[1]" would fail, but
"cwd ~/x[1]" would work since it was globbed due to the ~ character.
Also, "cwd ~/x[12]" used to arbitarily work as it used the first
expansion (ie: x1) without an error. Make it return '550 ambiguous'
instead of '550 not found' so that the user can see the difference.
For LIST, just use the user supplied string as the popen does the glob.

This allows you to determine if the file on the other side is the same
as the one you have without transferring the entire file to compare.
Needless to say, if the server end lies to you this check doesn't work,
but on the other hand, if it lies to you about the files checksum,
what can you trust from it ?
The PAM_FAIL_CHECK and PAM_END macros in su.c came from the util-linux
package's PAM patches to the BSD login.c

The PR also included documentation for other options, but upon
inspection of the source these options aren't used.

it at boot time closer to the way we want it to be in the final version.
* Move the default directory to /var/db/entropy
* Run the entropy saving cron job every 11 minutes. This seems
to be a better default, although still bikeshed material.
* Feed /dev/random some cheesy "entropy" from various commands
and files before the disks are mounted. This gives /dev/random
a better chance of running without blocking early.
* Move the reseeding with previously stored entropy to the point
immediately after the disks are mounted.
* Make the harvesting script a little safer in regards to the
possibility of accidentally overwriting something other
than a regular file.
it can be used to reseed at boot time. This will greatly increase
the chances that there will be sufficient entropy available at
boot time to prevent long delays.
For /etc/rc, remove the vmstat and iostat runs from the attempt
to provide some cheesy randomness if the files fail, since
those programs are dynamically linked, and ldd seems to want
some randomness to do its magic.
Guidance and parameters for this project were provided by
Mark Murray, based on the requirements of the Yarrow
algorithm. Some helpful suggestions for implementation
(including the tip about iostat and vmstat) were provided
by Sheldon Hearn. All blame for problems or mistakes is
mine of course.
