SSH install on HPUX

[Roderick Derks]

I want to install SSH on the Unix server. I downloaded the package T1471AA_A.03.91.002_HP-UX_B.11.00_32+64.depot.

# swinstall -s packagename gives the result:

"Currently, there are no products on this source which are compatible with the target. Therefore, no products are shown"

This is the system I'm working on:
HP-UX ezhlims1 B.11.11 U 9000/800 1775977681 unlimited-user license

What is the problem and how can I solve this?

Looks like you are using an 11.00 depot on an 11.11 system.

Go back to https://payment.ecommerce.hp.com/portal/swdepot/try.do?productNumber=T1471AA and select the 11.11 v1 depot.

Hi,

the error you receive seems to indicate that you have a wrong version. Means that there are different depots for the different HP-UX Versions

This helped. Now I got hte following problem:
I tied to install the package. It didn't install. This is a part of the logfile in the swinstall application:

ERROR: The file "/opt/ssh/ssh_chroot_setup.sh" was not loaded because
it is missing from the source media.
ERROR: The file "/sbin/init.d/secsh" was not loaded because it is
missing from the source media.
ERROR: Failed installing fileset
"Secure_Shell.SECURE_SHELL,r=A.03.91.002". Check the above
output for details.
NOTE: The Install Phase has suspended. Check the above output for
reasons.

Any idea?

Some more info from the beginning of the logfile:

I got it installed. The downloaded file had an error.

Did ps -ef|grep sshd
It's running!

Now I still have to connect to it. This isn't working so I'm looking into this right now.

hi,

the MS windows popular client that you may try to use to connect to the server is Putty.

hope this helps!

Connecting to the server takes a very long time. Network connection is NOT slow. What could be the problem?

[Florian Heigl (new acc)]

ssh always does a reverse lookup, but I think You'd have the delay earlier if that were the case.

There is a Software/patch with a kernel module for PRNG (strong random number generator) - if You don't have that patch installed, everything gets done by sshd wich takes some time longer.
It's called
KRNG11i B.11.11.07 HP-UX 11.11 Strong Random Number Generator

Test if this speeds up things a bit. (Warning: Reboot should be necessary)

The only other option is to use weaker hostkeys, which is not viable.

[Roderick Derks]

Where can I find the KRNG11i B.11.11.07 HP-UX 11.11 Strong Random Number Generator bundle? I tried to look for it but can not find it.

I'm new to this forum so I have to find my way around here. Thanks for the help.

http://software.hp.com/ is the place you're looking for. A search on "random generator" lists the product you want.
