AIX

Hi,

First of all, I wanted to try AIX and purchased a rs6000 from ebay with AIX6.1 installed.

My plan is to lear AIX, but I need to install ssh on the machine for the remote access.

The point is that I have seen nowhere a how'to or something.

Can you please give me some advices?

Thank you!

OpenSSH for AIX can be found here: SourceForge.net: OpenSSH on AIX

However, the pre-requisite OpenSSL is available at an IBM site linked from the site above. You will need an account there to download it.

Thanks, but how should I install .tar.Z extensions?

Ok, I unarchived it, and tried to install it, but I receive errors, and openssl seems to be installed...

What should I do?


bash-3.00# geninstall -Y -d /admin/openssh-5.0_tcpwrap/ Ipenssh.base

This is the how'to I've tried: Help -

hi,

you have Requisite Failures.
First install: openssl.base 0.9.8.800

Without openssl, openssh can not be installed.

Thanks, but:

bash-3.00# rpm -qa |grep openssl
openssl-0.9.7l-2

I have openssl 0.9.7l-2 already installed. Do I have to uninstall it? If so, how?

Thanks!
