Are you saying you used --with-lib-path and --with-include-path with no
arg? That's not how they're supposed to be used, if it works at all,
it should just be a nop.

Anyway, if you know exactly what LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS you want to use,
setting them on the configure command line is the right thing to do.

If you mail me the config.log, I can have a look at it. --with-*-path
works for me, on Solaris.

Sorry, host based authentication is not supported. I think you're the
first one who ever asks about that feature. I haven't really thought
about it, but I don't want to ever recommend making the lsh client
program setuid root. And it seems hard to support host based
authentication without making something setuid. Server-only support
could be done, I guess, but I'm not sure how useful that is.

Thanks, checked in now.
