Installing openSSH 3.5p1 on Solaris 5.6

chucker8 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-23-2007

Hello,

I have installed OpenSSH_3.5p1 On Solaris 5.6. Specifically, I have installed these packages:

OBSDssh-3.5p1-sparc-sun4u-5.6.pkg

DJBdaemon-0.76-sparc-sun4u-5.6.pkg

ANDIrand-0.7-sparc-sun4u-5.6.pkg

All three packages have installed successfully. From this point, I can not find any README or INSTALL files. I’m looking for installation instructions. Can you help me?

Thanks

hi porter, thanks for reply.

Unfortunately I keep running into this. The 2.6 equivalent packages on sunfreeware.com are all for opensh4.3p2 - whereas I need to have 3.5p1 to duplicate a customer's environment.

Do you think i can follow the instructions in the link and just use my 3.5p1 ssh and use all the other depenedent packages as shown in the link?

Any other advice - this is driving me bananas

thx for your help

I think you should give it a go and report your success.

Incorrect...Steve keeps all the old versions of all the packages and just keeps the latest version he has on the front page

just browse:
ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/2.6

and get ssh and the other dependencies.

thx all.

I am stuck right now. I am following the directions as per:

http://www.sunfreeware.com/openssh26-7.html

However - for example in step 3 (getting enthropy) - there's directions based on the location for prngd - /usr/local/etc/prngd/. However - in trying to reproduce the exact environment of my customer - I am using their randon number generator ANDIrand-0.7-sparc-sun4u-5.6.pkg.

Furthermore, the instructions refer to openssh being installed in /usr/local/bin and ssh being in /usr/local/sbin/sshd - However the openssh I have the customer is installed in /opt/OBSDssh/bin/openssh.

How can I make sense of this?

thanks

Packages being in different directories should not cause a major problem, indeed it's why you have configuration files to tell things where to find other things.

Where is your "egc.pl"? Have you managed to test the pool yet?
