Full Discussion: SSHD does not start
Operating Systems AIX SSHD does not start Post 302156783 by bakunin on Wednesday 9th of January 2008 05:17:13 AM

Yes, 5.1 is definitely out of service (and soon 5.2 will be too, if it is not already), therefore an upgrade to 5.3, ML6 (CSP3) would be a good idea.

Still there are a few points i'd like to mention as possible problems:

1) As far as i know the sshd daemon is started not on the commandline but via the system resource controller (SRC). Try to issue the command:

startsrc -s ssh

If there is a error message like "the ssh subsystem is not on file" you might not have executed the correct installation procedure

2) On AIX 5.3 (and on 5.1 too, IIRC) you need to install the rpm-package openssl.0.9.7g-1 prior to install ssh/sshd. Issue

rpm -q openssl

and look if the output is like "openssl-0.9.7g-1". If not this might be the source of your problems.

3) Have you checked if you have installed the correct package? There are *several* packages to be installed via installp, issue:

lslpp -l openss*

the output should be like:

Code:
# lslpp -l openss*

I hope this helps

PS: ah, and a final point: do NOT use bash to start daemons in AIX. Usually it doesn't matter, but why take the risk? On AIX Korn Shell is used throughout the system and you should stick to that.

CPANPLUS::Shell(3perl)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				    CPANPLUS::Shell(3perl)

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell - base class for CPANPLUS shells

SYNOPSIS

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell; 	    # load the shell indicated by your
					    # config -- defaults to
					    # CPANPLUS::Shell::Default

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Classic]  # load CPANPLUS::Shell::Classic;

	   my $ui      = CPANPLUS::Shell->new();
	   my $name    = $ui->which;	    # Find out what shell you loaded

	   $ui->shell;			    # run the ui shell

DESCRIPTION

       This module is the generic loading (and base class) for all "CPANPLUS" shells. Through this module you can load any installed "CPANPLUS"
       shell.

       Just about all the functionality is provided by the shell that you have loaded, and not by this class (which merely functions as a generic
       loading class), so please consult the documentation of your shell of choice.
