Openssh installation anybody help.

[theramster]

Hi,

I need to find some good documentation on installing openssh on AIX.

Please could someone point me in the right direction.

I have been to

http://www.openssl.org

and didn't find this very helpful.

Any help appreciated.

Hello!
I installed the last version two months ago.
Follow this step :

1)Install binaries package from

http://www.bullfreeware.com

chmod 777 Package_name
./Package_name

2) all files are under /usr/local
First, you need to set up an sshd_config:

# $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.59 2002/09/25 11:17:16 markus Exp $

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a
# default value.

#Port 22
#Protocol 2,1
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::

# HostKey for protocol version 1
HostKey /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key
# HostKeys for protocol version 2
HostKey /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key

# Lifetime and size of ephemeral version 1 server key
#KeyRegenerationInterval 3600
#ServerKeyBits 768

# Logging
#obsoletes QuietMode and FascistLogging
#SyslogFacility AUTH
#LogLevel INFO

# Authentication:

#LoginGraceTime 120
PermitRootLogin yes
#StrictModes yes

#RSAAuthentication yes
#PubkeyAuthentication yes
#AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys

# rhosts authentication should not be used
#RhostsAuthentication no
# Don't read the user's ~/.rhosts and ~/.shosts files
#IgnoreRhosts yes
# For this to work you will also need host keys in /usr/local/etc/ssh_known_hosts
#RhostsRSAAuthentication no
# similar for protocol version 2
#HostbasedAuthentication no
# Change to yes if you don't trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for
# RhostsRSAAuthentication and HostbasedAuthentication
#IgnoreUserKnownHosts no

# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!
#PasswordAuthentication yes
#PermitEmptyPasswords no

# Change to no to disable s/key passwords
#ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes

# Kerberos options
#KerberosAuthentication no
#KerberosOrLocalPasswd yes
#KerberosTicketCleanup yes

#AFSTokenPassing no

# Kerberos TGT Passing only works with the AFS kaserver
#KerberosTgtPassing no

# Set this to 'yes' to enable PAM keyboard-interactive authentication
# Warning: enabling this may bypass the setting of 'PasswordAuthentication'
#PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt no

#X11Forwarding no
#X11DisplayOffset 10
#X11UseLocalhost yes
#PrintMotd yes
#PrintLastLog yes
#KeepAlive yes
#UseLogin no
#UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
#PermitUserEnvironment no
#Compression yes

#MaxStartups 10
# no default banner path
#Banner /some/path
#VerifyReverseMapping no

# override default of no subsystems
Subsystem sftp /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server


3) create keys files :
/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key -N ""
/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""
/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ""

4) create user and group SSHD with the following option (using smit)
home = /var/empty
nologin
home directory de owner root

5) Start sshd with:
/usr/sbin/sshd -f /etc/openssh/sshd_config
Or make a daemon :
/usr/bin/mkssys -s sshd -p /usr/local/sbin/sshd -a '-D' -u 0 -S -n 15 -f 9 -R -G local
startsrc -s sshd

6) Start at boot

/usr/sbin/mkitab -i prngd "sshd:2:wait:startsrc -s sshd > /dev/console 2>&1"

Hi LeDam,

I have downloaded the latest verison of open-ssh 3.6.1.0 from the bull website.

I followed your instructions and ran the executable. This created a .bff file.

Do I need to install this as using the standard Smitty install?

From your instructions I wasn't quite sure sorry.

Please get back to me and let me know.

Cheers

Jita

I can't remember if this was a .bff but if you have this kind of file, yes install it by smit...
