I don't know whether this information will help, but Slackware 12.2 was the last Slackware release supporting KDE3. I mention this because the OpenSSH version with that release was 5.1p1. I know fish works with that release but I can't vouch for sftp. I presume so.

Slackware Current, which is a rolling release of sorts for each final snapshot official release, is now using OpenSSH 5.9p1 and OpenSSL 0.9.8t.

Perhaps that information helps narrow the range of versions to support, or a minimum version to support.

I'm using Slackware 13.1, which is using OpenSSH 5.5p1 (ssh -v: OpenSSH_5.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8t 18 Jan 2012).

I performed a cursory check of the message strings referenced in ksshprocess.cpp. They look the same between 5.1p1 and 5.9p1. Only a cursory check. :)

I have a complete 12.2 installation available to me that I can use to compare KDE3 fish and sftp tests to TDE. All I need are instructions of what you folks need me to do and I can proceed.
