 Programming:
-- Replacement for setproctitle() - HP/UX support only currently
+- Grep for 'XXX' comments and fix
+
+- Link order is incorrect for some systems using Kerberos 4 and AFS. Result
+  is multiple inclusion of DES symbols. Holger Trapp 
+  <holger.trapp@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de> reports that changing the configure
+  generated link order from:
+       -lresolv -lkrb -lz -lnsl  -lutil -lkafs -lkrb -ldes -lcrypto
+  to:
+       -lresolv -lkrb -lz -lnsl  -lutil -lcrypto -lkafs -lkrb -ldes
+  fixing the problem.
+
+- Write a test program that calls stat() to search for EGD/PRNGd socket
+  rather than use the (non-portable) "test -S". 
+
+- Replacement for setproctitle() - HP-UX support only currently
+
+- Handle changing passwords for the non-PAM expired password case
 
 - Improve PAM support (a pam_lastlog module will cause sshd to exit)
+  and maybe support alternate forms of authenications like OPIE via
+  pam?
+
+- Rework PAM ChallengeResponseAuthentication
+ - Use kbdint request packet with 0 prompts for informational messages
+ - Use different PAM service name for kbdint vs regular auth (suggest from
+   Solar Designer)
+ - Ability to select which ChallengeResponseAuthentications may be used
+   and order to try them in e.g. "ChallengeResponseAuthentication skey, pam"
 
 - Complete Tru64 SIA support
+ - It looks like we could merge it into the password auth code to cut down
+   on diff size. Maybe PAM password auth too?
 
 - Finish integrating kernel-level auditing code for IRIX and SOLARIS

-- Support 64bit ints on machines that lack 'long long' and u_intXX_t
-  (tim@multitalents.net)
+- sftp-server:  Rework to step down to 32bit ints if the platform
+  lacks 'long long' == 64bit (Notable SCO w/ SCO compiler)
 
 - Linux hangs for 20 seconds when you do "sleep 20&exit".  All current
   solutions break scp or leaves processes hanging around after the ssh
   connection has ended.  It seems to be linked to two things.  One
   select() under Linux is not as nice as others, and two the children
-  of the shell are not killed on exiting the shell.

+- Build an automated test suite
