How to install SSH server ?

[Jefferson_6]

Hi guys,
i want to remotely administer my servers. Im thinking of using ssh ?

[Han Pilmeyer]

For which version of Tru64 UNIX?

With V5.1B, a version of SSH comes bundled. For V5.1A it is a free download.

For earlier versions you will have to build OpenSSH from source.

[Jefferson_6]

thanks for replying. 5.1A is the version. where can i download it and the installation procedure.

[Han Pilmeyer]

try here: http://h30097.www3.hp.com/unix/ssh/

Typically Tru64 UNIX stuff can be found by browsing to http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/

yes i already seen the site.i cant dowload it saying since were having some problem on our reverse dns.is there any other way i can download it ?or can you please email the ssh file to me ?

It is a security issue and a legal issue. Legally HP can't distribute ssh to some countries, so they need to know exactly who you are and where the product will be sent or they could be put in jail for sending it to you. So, no, we can't just send you the distribution.

The other option would be to upgrade to V5.1B. ssh is included as part of the OS for V5.1B for everyone except those countries where it is restricted.

Enter number of choice and press :

can i go directly to command line ?

[Han Pilmeyer]

Normally you do connect directly to the command line.

It must be the shell for the admin account that starts this menu. I would check the shell (or command) that is started for the admin account in /etc/passwd and the relevant start script for that shell (e.g. .profile, .login, .bashrc, etc.)

[Jefferson_6]

i just regularly create the account.how can i then use the command line ? what things should i add ?

[Han Pilmeyer]

I'm sure this has nothing to do with SSH. I suspect that this is something that OSIS did when you installed it. But it's been years seen I did that, so I can't remember what it does exactly.

- Which shell did you use for the created account?
- What is in the login script for that shell?
- Also check the system wide login script
- Do you see the same if you SSH to root?
- What if you "su - " from root?

[Jefferson_6]

Heres the info my user.
.login > /usr/internet/httpd/admin/htdocs/common/skel/.login
this is the same with .profile /usr/internet/httpd/admin/htdocs/common/skel/.profile
/etc/passwd > /usr/users/

My purpose only is to have a remote connection on my server,to change some config and other administration.Is there any other way ?

[Han Pilmeyer]

Well if you remove that line from the .login and .profile, you won't get the menu any more.

You could also try to sftp/scp files across for your management tasks.

[Jefferson_6]

i tried to comment out that line from .login and .profile. when authentication finished the connection suddenly closed. do i have to put some line there to execute the cli for ssh ?

[Han Pilmeyer]

Not if that's the only thing that was done to the .profile/.login. Is that line the only thing in those files?

What does the /etc/passwd entry for this user look like?
