Openssh install 1

[KenCunningham]

Hi folks. This is my first time installing ssh on an AIX server, so forgive me if this is a basic question. I have used rpm to install all prerequisites, and the install of ssh via smitty install seemed to go without a problem.

However, when attempting to run ssh, I get the following output:

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ssh because of the following errors:
        0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for ssh because:
        0509-136   Symbol getpeereid (number 33) is not exported from
                   dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o).
        0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
                 'dump -Tv' command.

I'm guessing this has to do with versioning, but would appreciate advice from those (many) more knowledgeable in the ways of AIX than I. oslevel -r on the box returns 5200-01.

TIA.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

Hi there,

sometimes these kind of messages are caused by a problem with 32 / 64 bit ...

What ssh version do you have and where did you get it ?

What does bootinfo -y show on your machine ?

... and one more thing:

Did you install openssl as well as zlib too ?
These two are needed for openssh to work properly as far as I know.

Hi TSch and thanks for the responses. bootinfo -y returns 64 (which I would expect). The 5.2 package was doenloaded from:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=127997

I did install zlib and opensll beforehand too.

Hmmm ... I remember having some problems too, when I first tried the sourceforge files some time ago (But I can't remember exactly what it was).

So I got this version and it worked perfectly:
(Maybe you could try it ...)

http://openssh.linux-mirror.org/portable/openssh-4.5p1.tar.gz

(It says Linux in the link, but it's for AIX, too.)

There's also a section on the IBM site about openssh for AIX.

Thomas, thank you and a star for your efforts. I have downloaded an earlier version for 5.2 from sourceforge and it appears to have done the trick. I will, however, post back if not! Thanks again.
