SSH and HP-UX 11.0

[Dean Irving]

Trying to find out if anyone has successfully gotten SSH to work on an HP-UX 11.0 configured as a trusted system? We've been able to compile and get SSH to work under a 10.20 trusted system, but not under 11.0

using openssh & openssl compiled using gcc 2.95

I would like a little more information about what you're doing. I have successfully installed OpenSSH on a trusted minimal install. What versions are you running? and is it a basic install?

What is 'OpenSSH'? We tried to compile the evaluation copy of SSH from Secure Computing.

OpenSSH is a stem-off of the OpenBSD project. It is a free open source alternative to SSH Communications. Their website is www.openssh.com. I have compiled it on HP-UX 11.0 in trusted mode. The server side sshd interoperates with all of the major ssh clients. I compiled it with gcc-2.95, libpcap-0.4, make-3.79, openssl-0.9.5a, and zlib-1.1.3. All of the above is available in depot format at http://hpux.cae.wisc.edu/.

Hi,

A few things to note for compiling SSH on HP-UX 11.00. To ensure that the make compilation works, you have to add a parameter to ./configure as follows:

# ./configure --host=hppa2.0-hp-hpux11.00

For running sftp on Unix, also make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH variable so that it knows where to search for the other required SSH binaries.

Hope this helps. Regards.
