AIX

Hi Friends

I am trying to install ssh in one of my AIX4.3 server.
I downloaded openssh and openssl from IBM site. While installing them openssh failed.

The lpcheck command display looks like this:

# lppchk -v
lppchk: The following filesets need to be installed or corrected to bring
the system to a consistent state:
openssh.base.server 4.1.0.1 (usr: COMMITTED, root: not installed)

When i start sshd,the error is as displayed:

# /usr/sbin/sshd start
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/sbin/sshd because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module /lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.7) could not be loaded.
0509-152 Member libcrypto.so.0.9.7 is not found in archive

Please let me know how to proceed.

Thanks
HG

IIRC, you need ssh, ssl and zlib. Maybe you are missing zlib. This lslpp is from our last 4.3.3 box:

Code:

  freeware.openssh.rte       3.7.1.0  COMMITTED  OpenSSH 3.7p1
  freeware.zlib.rte          1.1.4.0  COMMITTED  zlib pre-compiled utility
  freeware.openssl.rte       0.9.6.7  COMMITTED  OpenSSL, Secure Sockets Layer

What error did installp/smitty show?

Try installing openSSL first.

Hi zaxxon

Thanks for the info.
I have installed zlib and i was able to install SSH.

Now i am bale to use ssh client services.Any idea how to enable the ssh server part.

Thanks

Hi Zaxxon

Just wanted to add the below.(As my previous post looked inadequate and short of logs)

After installing zlib,i was able to install SSH without any errors. (I installed through smitty and it didn't display any failures.)
However when i try to start sshd,the following error pops up:

$ /usr/sbin/sshd
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/sbin/sshd because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.7) could not be loaded.
0509-152 Member libcrypto.so.0.9.7 is not found in archive
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypto.a
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root system 4972773 Jul 09 11:48 /usr/lib/libcrypto.a
$ lslpp -L | grep openssl
freeware.openssl.rte 0.9.6.7 C OpenSSL, Secure Sockets Layer
openssl.base 0.9.8.801 C Open Secure Socket Layer


I found in one of the forums that SSHD is looking for libcrypto 0.9.7 and not finding it as the current version is 0.9.6.7.
I tried downloading it,but couldn't find the binary(0.9.7) in bullfreeware.com.

Also attaching the dump -H output of /usr/sbin/sshd:
# dump -H /usr/sbin/sshd
/usr/sbin/sshd:

I find that there is no dir called /opt/freeware.
# ls -ld /opt/freeware
ls: 0653-341 The file /opt/freeware does not exist.

I don't understand why SSHD binary is calling for that.
Hope somebody can help.

Note -
I am able to perform the following:
1.Generate SSH keys
# /usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t dsa
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (//.ssh/id_dsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in //.ssh/id_dsa.
Your public key has been saved in //.ssh/id_dsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
0e:1b:d9:1b:29:b5:1b:ac:54:eb:43:27:76:a5:0d:e9 root@mumux501

2. Connect to clients through SSH.

Thanks

Try to uninstall openssl, zlib and ssh. Then install ssh again; it should find it's dependencies if zlib and openssl packages are in the same directory like the ssh package. Or you try it like rbuder said, to install 1st zlib, openssl, then ssh.
