OpenSSH software for HP-UX version 10.01

[Becke]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a openssh software to install on our HP machine which is running 10.01 operating system.

I have searched on the www.openssh.com site but I'm not too sure which version I should be downloading in order to install it successfully.

Any help on the above would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

You need the portable version, 3.8-p1 at least, also You need zlib and openssl, most probably also GNU make and autoconf (libtool).

Expect some major work involved in compiling it on HP-UX 10.01.

You might also want to consider buying a license of F-Secure ssh, which might be still available (I don't know).

Hi Florian and All,

Thanks everyone for your promt response and help, and yes Florian you are right one would expect some major work involved in compiling it on HP-UX 10.01, I have successfully compiled it on our AIX servers as that is my main platform.

As for these HP servers we have decided not to go ahead with all that hassel, so we will find the workaround for this.

Its just waist of time, I needed openssh installed on these servers, so I can install the monitoring software. As such this call is now closed.

Thanks all...

If I may add in a small bit - depending on Your requirements:

If You only need secure authentication and it's about non-root calls (for the monitoring I'd guess this is sufficient) You could use kerberized rsh, the support should be in 10.01. (Bad: There was a buffer overflow in krb5 this year, but I'd say, there's probably many more in 10.01 and it's old enough to maybe not even contain it)

Or, the other idea would be combining SSLtelnet and Expect; personally I'd look into that if buying f-secure isn't a good option.

Or simply use TCPwrapper to restrict monitoring+rsh access, which is the most simple and effictive way for that scenario.
