[AIX 5.3] OpensSSH - AIX

untamed · #1 04-21-2008

I'm trying to install OpenSSH (package downloaded from SourceForge.net: OpenSSH on AIX ) on AIX 5.3.
I read this guide:
Install OpenSSH in AIX - ITtoolboxWiki
but when I launch the installation from smitty, the output is:

Quote:

You will need to download openssl.base 0.9.8.4 and install it before you can install openssh.

I have two packages already installed:

Code:

bash-2.05a# rpm -qa|grep openssl
openssl-0.9.6m-2
openssl-devel-0.9.7l-2

Must I install 0.9.8 version?

This is how i accomplished this task.

Steps or content:
Getting Started:

1. Download the latest OpenSSL form IBM at this webpage: https://www14.software.ibm.com/webap...?source=aixtbx, you will need to log in.
2. Download the larest OpenSSH software from –Sourceforge: SourceForge.net: OpenSSH on AIX
3. Move the software mentioned above to the target server, when I did this I made a directory in tmp called openssh, and put the software there.

Installing OpenSSL: (all steps completed as root)
1. Update the AIX-rpm database (this may take several minutes to completed).
• cd /usr/sbin
• ./updtvpkg
2. Install OpenSSL software.
• Cd <directory containing the rpm package> cd /tmp/openssh.
• rpm –i openssl-0.9.7l-1.aix.5.1.ppc.rpm.
3. Install openssh fielsets.
• Cd <directory containing openssh package> cd /tmp/openssh.
• Uncompress openssh*.tar.z
• tar –xvf openssh*.tar
• rm .toc
• smitty install_latest (use a . for your input directory and _all_latest for the “SOFTWARE to install and a yes for ACCEPT new license agreements)

Testing connectivity:
1. Open putty and connect to the target server through port 22, you will get a confirmation make sure you select yes.

Success!

It was a wrong openssl version. After installing 0.9.8 version, everything has gone right.

Thank you
