Description Jimmy.Jazz 2024-07-14 13:59:08 UTC 
sshd -i execve call fails without an absolute path despite 'server' cmd for the service. openssh check and refuse a relative path when executing the server.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.# sshd -i                                                              
sshd requires execution with an absolute path
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
fails

Comment 2 Ville Syrjala 2024-10-11 17:25:25 UTC 
The regression appears to have been fixed in upstream openssh:
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3717
https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git/commit/?id=c21c3a2419bbc1c59cb1a16ea356e703e99a90d9
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/sshd.c.diff?r1=1.610&r2=1.611

Presumably net-misc/openssh should just pick up that patch.
