-- If you build with tcpwrappers and try to run the regression tests,
-  your hosts.allow must permit connections from localhost and from
-  "unknown".  This is because some tests are performed via the loopback
-  interface, while others are done with "sshd -i" as a ProxyCommand.  In
-  the latter case, when sshd calls getpeername() on the socket it will
-  fail (because it's not a tcp socket) and will be identified as
-  "unknown", which is then checked against tcpwrappers.
-
 - If your build requires ssh-rand-helper regress tests will fail
   unless ssh-rand-helper is in pre-installed (the path to
   ssh-rand-helper is hard coded).
 
+- Similarly, if you do not have "scp" in your system's $PATH then the
+  multiplex scp tests will fail (since the system's shell startup scripts
+  will determine where the shell started by sshd will look for scp).
+
+- Recent GNU coreutils deprecate "head -[n]": this will cause the yes-head
+  test to fail.  The old behaviour can be restored by setting (and
+  exporting) _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 before running the tests.
