SSH for HP-UX 11.00

[Dennis Handly]

# swlist -l file openssh

Will show you all of the files.

... which I just ran on the depot that Merijn provided, revealing:

# openssh 5.2p1 openssh
# openssh.openssh-CFG OpenSSH configuration files
openssh.openssh-CFG: /etc/rc.config.d/opensshd
openssh.openssh-CFG: /sbin/init.d/openssh
openssh.openssh-CFG: /usr/local/etc/moduli
openssh.openssh-CFG: /usr/local/etc/ssh_config
openssh.openssh-CFG: /usr/local/etc/sshd_config


amongst other files...

so I gues running:

/sbin/init.d/openssh start

will probably get you going...

If all installed OK, the most informative messages you get from

# /usr/local/sbin/sshd

which is essentially what

# /sbin/init.d/openssh start

will do in the background for you

You might be missing /var/empty or a ssh user

If you have nothing at all, a basic OpenSSL setup might look like

# cd /usr/local/etc/openssh
# /usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t dsa -N "" -f ssh_host_dsa_key
# /usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "" -f ssh_host_rsa_key
# /usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -N "" -f ssh_host_key

# echo 'sshd:*:22:3::/var/empty:/sbin/sh' >>/etc/passwd
# mkdir /var/empty
# chmod 755 /var/empty

# /usr/local/sbin/sshd

And then test

# ssh ${USER}@localhost

BTW, I still don't see a single post in this thread where you assigned points to

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Hi all,
Thanks all for replies. I should have submitted points earlier as I did not really find the link to do so earlier. I have done now. The replies are all of great help.

The cmd: swlist -l file openssh
gave me many things similiar to Duncan posted.

I also found the sshd by "find / -name "*ssh*" -print. It gave me many such as:
/etc/rc.config.d/opensshd
....
/sbin/init.d/openssh
....
etc.

Then when I tested, I got this:

awagshp 27 [/usr/local/etc] #/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t dsa -N "" -f ssh_host_dsa_key
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/lib/libz.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory


I also got this:
awagshp 32 [/] #/sbin/init.d/openssh start
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/lib/libz.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
/sbin/init.d/openssh[69]: 4364 Abort(coredump)
EXIT CODE: 134
awagshp 33 [/] #


Again I can see this:
awagshp 33 [/] #cd /usr/lib
awagshp 34 [/usr/lib] #ls -l libz.sl
libz.sl not found

awagshp 35 [/usr/lib] #ls -l dld.sl
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 102400 Jun 17 1998 dld.sl
awagshp 36 [/usr/lib] #

I did not go further for keys stuff since /usr/lib/libz.sl is absent.

I am looking for more help.

Thanks a lot.

> I am looking for more help.

You might try a Google or Forum search for
keywords like, say:

hp-ux libz.sl

Something will probably lead you to a kit
which would provide this prerequisite.

You might look to see if you already have it
somewhere under /usr/local.

[Dennis Handly]

>I did not go further for keys stuff since /usr/lib/libz.sl is absent.

You need to also install zlib-1.2.3.sl:
http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/libz-1.2.3-11.00-pa2.0.tbz

[Charlie123]

Hi STeven & Dannis, thanks a lot.

I downloaded the tbz file as indicated and installed into the directories, libz-1.2.3.sl is the original copy after untarred, libz.sl is its copy.

See these:

awagshp 29 [/usr/lib] #!ls
ls -l libz*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 102400 Apr 23 14:37 libz-1.2.3.sl
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 102400 Apr 23 14:31 libz.sl
awagshp 30 [/usr/lib] #cd /lib

awagshp 31 [/lib] #!ls
ls -l libz*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 102400 Apr 23 14:37 libz-1.2.3.sl
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 102400 Apr 23 14:31 libz.sl

Then I got further errors, see these:

awagshp 33 [/lib] #cd /usr/local/etc
( no openssh directory under )

awagshp 34 [/usr/local/etc] #/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t dsa -N "" -f ssh_host_dsa_key
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Bad system id for shared library: /usr/lib/libz.sl

IOT trap (core dumped)
awagshp 35 [/usr/local/etc] #id

awagshp 36 [/usr/local/etc] #/sbin/init.d/openssh start

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error
/sbin/init.d/openssh[69]: 4493 Abort(coredump)
EXIT CODE: 134
awagshp 37 [/usr/local/etc] #

The key error msg was "Bad system id for shared lib..."

My log in id was "root".

Please provide further help. It seemed we made a lot progress, after this is completed I will summarize here for sharing.

Thanks again.

Charlie

[Steven Schweda]

I usually build things like this from source
kits. That way, I seldom see complaints like
"Executable file incompatible with hardware"
or "Exec format error".

[Dennis Handly]

>dld.sl: Bad system id for shared library: /usr/lib/libz.sl
>dld.sl: Exec format error

It looks like this is the previous issues, PA2.0 code on your old PA1.1 box.
Do: file /usr/lib/libz.sl

[Dennis Handly]

>dld.sl: Bad system id for shared library: /usr/lib/libz.sl
>dld.sl: Exec format error

Oops, the URL even says pa2.0.

Did you see H.Merijn's comment:
BTW, that distro also includes a libz-1.2.3.sl (and a symlink to it) as I didn't have a PA-1.1 version handy.

[Charlie123]

Thanks.
See this:

awagshp 4 [/lib] #file /usr/lib/libz.sl
/usr/lib/libz.sl: PA-RISC2.0 shared library -not stripped
awagshp 5 [/lib] #

I do not know what it means. Please...

Regards. ->Charlie

[Duncan Edmonstone]

I expect the problem you now have is that the zlib library you have downloaded is again a PA2.0 rather than PA1.1 library, which won't run on your crusty old hardware.

Luckily if you read back through Merijn's posts you will see thet he already included a PA1.1 copy of zlib in the distribution of ssh/ssl he provided previously (it's actually in the openssl product)

Repeat the "swlist -l file" commands on the openssl product and you should see you have a copy of libz.sl in /usr/local/lib

So just add /usr/local/lib to your SHLIB_PATH and try again (you should probably swremove the PA2.0 zlib you just installed as well)

HTH

Duncan

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

OK, here is a libz.sl for HP-PA 1.1

# cd /usr/lib
# wget http://www.cmve.net/~mbrand/libz-1.2.3-11.00-pa11.sl
# ln -s libz-1.2.3-11.00-pa11.sl libz.sl
# cd /usr/local/lib
# ln -s /usr/lib/libz.sl .

AND PLEASE DO ASSIGN POINTS TO THE ANSWERS. (ALL ANSWERS)

Enjoy. Have FUN! H.Merijn [ just browsing through older posts ]

[Charlie123]

Hi Procura,

Thanks a lot. I have been away for quite a while and was unable to access the internet.

I tried to get the lib from your latest indication, but I failed because this machine is not linked to the internet, and it does not have wget command.

Please provide another channel for me to download the much needed library. I will summarize here.

Thanks a lot.
Charlie

[Steven Schweda]

> [...] this machine is not linked to the
> internet, [...]

Then how did you download all that other
stuff you said that you downloaded?

> [...] it does not have wget command.

Wget is available on the Internet, too.

[Charlie123]

Thanks for reply.

I downloaded into my Windows Box, then FTP to the HP Unix box in the internal network. The HP Unix box was cut off from access to internet.

[Steven Schweda]

> I downloaded into my Windows Box, then FTP
> to the HP Unix box [...]

Ok. So why can't you do that again?

[Charlie123]

Hi Steve,

I did that by copying/pasting the full URL to my browser, but I got this:

"
De opgevraagde pagina bestaat niet op deze webserver !
Mail de link naar onderstaand adres ter correctie.
"

Is this French or anything? And English is even not my 1st language.

Thank you, please indicate again.

[Steven Schweda]

> Is this French or anything? [...]

Looks like Dutch (".nl").

Try the e-mail link at the bottom of:

http://www.cmve.net/~mbrand/

?

[Charlie123]

Hi Steven & procura,

Thanks for so many replies, I still can not find the library, can you provide further help?

Thanks a lot.
Charlie

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Mea Culpa, Mea maxima maxima culpa!
I noted the name wrong (drop the -11.00 part, as pa11 is not bound to 11.00 or 10.20)

http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/libz-1.2.3-pa11.sl

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

[Charlie123]

Hi all,

I downloaded & link the new posted library, it seemed to be a big leap.

See this:
#/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t dsa -N "" -f ssh_host_dsa_key
PRNG is not seeded.

WHat is wrong?
Thanks.
Charlie

[Charlie123]

Also:

awagshp 24 [/usr/local/etc] #/sbin/init.d/openssh start
PRNG is not seeded
EXIT CODE: 255
awagshp 25 [/usr/local/etc] #

[Charlie123]

Hi Guys,
I got the random number generator and sshd running, but once I used my terminal program putty to try to connect to the host by SSH port, it seemed to me the host was brought down. Any connections ( such as telnet ) went down. The system seemed to reboot, I had to manually restart the sshd as indicated in this thread.

( When I tried SSH for the 1st time, it prompted the key cache etc. after that now more prompt mesage ).

Need more help.
Thanks a lot.
Charlie
