HP-UX Secure Shell Encrypts Remote Network Traffic

[HP-UX Secure Shell Team]

Hi Everyone,

Thought you'd be interested to know that Secure Shell technology is now available with HP-UX. You can download HP-UX Secure Shell A.03.10, based on OpenSSH 3.1p1, at http://software.hp.com. HP-UX Secure Shell transparently encrypts remote network traffic for HP-UX 11.0 and 11i. It provides stronger security than the traditional ftp, remsh, telnet, and rcp services. Best of all, it is free of charge! HP supports HP-UX Secure Shell for no additional cost to customers with HP-UX Support Agreements.

If you have questions about HP-UX Secure Shell, look for answers in the HP-UX Secure Shell Frequently Asked Questions available by searching the ITRC for "Secure Shell FAQs".

You can also learn more about the product by reading the documentation located in /opt/ssh/readme.

Best Regards,
Mike

Another beneft of using SSH is the ability to tunnel traffic. Great for working over VPN's where you go through a port limiting firewall.

Which leads into a question. I have an 11.00 box in a DMZ and want to install the march2002 patch bundle over the lan but only have SSH access to the box. I could tar the patch bundle and copy to local disk to install but I would prefer to pull it directly from out depot server via a SSH tunnel. I have found this article in the knowledge base that details how to limit the ports required by swinstall but current have had no luck in getting this to work via port forwarding. Anyone up to the challenge?

Hello, everyone at HP-UX Secure Shell Team.

It's very good that SSH can be available by
depot. Because I tried and failed to make from source... Thanks.

And I have a question: I want to control ssh access by hosts.allow and hosts.deny.
I hear that the way is configureing ssh with libwrap.a.
Is libwrap.a linked in HP-UX Secure Shell?
Must I only configure hosts.allow and hosts.deny to control?

I'm a big fan of secure shell. Thanks for repackaging for HP-UX.

The libwrap.a archive library is linked with the HP-UX Secure Shell. Yes you only need to configure hosts.allow and hosts.deny.
