[tbox-l] Question on zlib

[Kent W. <Ken...@er...>]

The zlib libraries as supplied by IBM (and used by the rpm install =
process) are currently at 1.2.2.

In compiling the latest OpenSSH, the configure process complained about =
that version being out-of-date due to security exposures.  Sure enough, =
when I go the zlib web site (www.zlib.net), it indicates that a new =
release (1.2.3) came out in July, 2005.

In the past when I have compiled zlib on my own the rpm tool supplied by =
IBM started complaining because it wasn't compiled the same way as the =
zlib from the Linux Toolbox so I don't really want to go down that path =
(unless somebody can supply me with instructions/flags on how rpm wants =
zlib to be compiled).

Does anybody have any idea as to when the Linux Toolbox web site will be =
updated with the newer zlib?

Thanks for your time.
