setup OpenSSH server on AIX 4.3

[Job317]

I just built and installed OpenSSH-4.7p1 and dependencies on my AIX 4.3 machine. The client runs fine. So does the sshd daemon.

I just need some pointers on configuring the system to start the daemon automatically at boot time with correct security and all.

Can someone point me to information on doing this correctly for AIX? My google searches have not been very helpful.

Thanks.

Try using mkitab to add the sshd command to your /etc/inittab.

you can wrap the ssh daemon with tcpwrappers for a little more security if you want.

Thanks, I googled "aix openssh and mkitab" which got me this link which got me everything I needed.
