Hello,
I installed FreeBSD from 7.0-release and brought up to stable a few days
ago:
lentil# uname -a
FreeBSD lentil.growveg.org 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #0: Mon
Nov 10 09:21:06 GMT 2008
root at lentil.growveg.org:/ext0/system/src/sys/i386/compile/LENTIL i386
today I recompiled the kernel because I had stripped out the ipv6 stuff
- however some apps seem to require it. That all went well. Afterwards,
I set up the logging. I'm noticing the following error from the console:

It doesn't seem to stop sshd from working, but it's annoying
nonetheless. I did a quick google, and found someone describing the same
problem at https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1525 but they
say this was fixed in OpenSSH 4.7. - that URL is the latest report of
the problem.
I'm running a much later version:
sshd: OpenSSH_5.1p1 FreeBSD-20080901, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007
Can anyone help me with a fix/workaround?
thanks
