Secure Shell

[Richard Steven]

Hi,

I am looking for an implementation of SSH-2 for Unix servers (HP-UX & Solaris) and Windows servers and workstations.

I am currently considering SSH Corporations Secure Shell (www.ssh.com) and F-secures secure shell (www.f-secure.com).

It seems to me that they are both good products but the support available concerns me. Does anyone have any experience of these products? Can you recommend anything else? Any other points that I should consider?

Thanks in advance! :-)

HP have their own free version of SSH for HP-UX. You can download from www.software.hp.com
We use it on all our servers. We have 3rd parties who use F-secure SSH and weve had compatibility problems between it and HP's SSH implementation. Weve found HP's implementation much easier to install and setup, and its free and supported by HP!

Yea I have seen the HP offering and it looks good but the solution that I am looking for has to roll out over multiple flavours of unix and windows. With this in mind I rekon a third party product would be better?

Hi,
we use
- putty for windows,
- openssh for hpux,

works fine, never needed any support. I assume for solaris there is a simalar product.

Goodluck
Donald

Hi,

These products are very good however there is not any commercial support for openssh. I have a requirement for support.

Hi
use the ssh software from HP. Then you will have a support in the case you need one.

We have installed HP-SSH on our HP servers. And there is no problem.

Stephen Protter attached the document I wrote concerning secure shell. I just want to comment that you have to pay STRICT attention to the ownership and permission settings mentioned there. Any variance with those settings and it won't work. Where it says chmod 644, use that command and that command only. Where it says chmod 755, use that command and that command only. If you do that, then secure shell is a dream to work with: a bit slow to make the initial connection but very very simple and fast after that.
