OpenSSH 9.7p1 running tests fails

[artkiver (グレェ)]

While attempting to update the Portfile for OpenSSH to 9.7p1 earlier (PR submitted here; prematurely: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/22981) I ran into an issue which seems very similar to #69456 with OpenSMTPD.

Output of main.log below

Since OpenSMTPD was apparently fixed upstream (via ​https://github.com/OpenSMTPD/OpenSMTPD/commit/276e064723bfdc81548950b752595183ea610800 ) I've made mention of this to OpenSSH developer djm@ as well, but wanted to document this in its own Trac issue.

I have not looked into this deeply yet, so my apologies in advance if the OpenSMTPD reference mentioned is a red herring.

I probably should have done more due diligence locally before submitting a PR in the first place; but previously had often ignored when port test failed due to some of the tests attempting to do things which aren't really in alignment with my local system(s) (e.g. trying to nectat to sshd even though I have a firewall running blocking such access so that test would stall out/fail).
