SSHD fails to start

P Badrinath — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 11:16:26 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to install secureshell A.05.10.047
and fails with following error

#/opt/ssh/sbin/sshd
/usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: Unsatisfied code symbol 'EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length' in load module '/opt/ssh/sbin/sshd'.
Killed
Please assist.

Where did you get the sshd and what os version did you install it on? This looks like either a platform/library mismatch or a compile/build issue.

This error appears at the end of the ssh installation when it tries to start sshd. The same thing happens when I try to start ssh manually.

HPUX version 11.31

The issue seems to be only with HPUX 11.31 Sep2007 release and ssh A.05.10.047. Because I installed A.04.70.023 successfully.

Shalom,

Bad code.

swremove this version get a new version from http://software.hp.com

You can also take it off a Core OS DVD or application DVD you are comfortable with.

sshd is a moving target because there is a constant flow of bugs and security fixes needed, drawn from real life, heavy use of sshd.

Plan to update this application frequently.

FYI,

Just ran into the same issue. The version 5.19.047 of SSH for 11.31 is bad.

/sbin/init.d/secsh start
/usr/lib/hpux64/dld.so: Unsatisfied code symbol 'EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length' in load module '/opt/ssh/sbin/sshd'.
/sbin/init.d/secsh[70]: 8278 Killed
EXIT CODE: 137

Now the next trick. Finding an older version because software.hp.com does not make them avail.

This bug only on 11.31?
A.05.10.046 on 11.23 work correctly?
Somebody test it?

this problem is a known issue.

solution (from hp support):

The missing module can be obtained with OpenSSL version A.00.09.08g.031, or later:

1. Install newer OpenSSL software (version A.00.09.08g.031, or later) from HP Software web page.

# swinstall -s /mypath/myopenssl.depot openssl

Notice the lowercase openssl product name.

2. Reinstall SSH:

# swinstall â x reinstall â s /mypath/myopenssh.depot SecureShell

sorry...copy and paste from html. ;)

swinstall -x reinstall=true -s /mypath/myopenssh.depot SecureShell

There is mistake in:

swinstall -x reinstall=true -s /mypath/myopenssh.depot SecureShell

There is no SecureShell in OpenSSL depot.
SecureShell should be installed from its depot like:

swinstall -x reinstall=true -s /mypath/SecureShell_A.05.20.006_HP-UX_B.11.31_IA_PA.depot SecureShell
