Hi,
I am working on SunOS 5.8, and I need to do ssh on it. But no ssh process running on it and when I search for sshd file , I am not able to see it in either /usr or /etc. Is ssh not installed on my machine, and if not how can I can download the ssh and install it on my SunOS.
I don't use SunOS. Does it have a package manager & repository or a DVD of packages. If so, it would be best to use the package so that it is built properly for your system. For example, for most Linux distro's, it will be built with PAM and libwrap support. These will be optional configuration items if you build it from source. If this work was done for you by a packager for your system, that would be the better solution. If not, then you could download the source and build it yourself. http://www.openssh.com/portable.html
To quote from the openssh site: "Unfortunately, in particular since OpenSSH does authentication, it runs into a *lot* of differences between Unix operating systems".
You might want to google for "openssh solaris ./configure" to find what configuration options you need. It may even depend on the version of Solaris that you use.
Thanks, Finally I've successfully installed ssh, but now what I am facing whenever I tried to start sshd by running the following command :
/usr/local/bin/sshd start
I am getting following error message :
ld.so.1: /usr/local/sbin/sshd: fatal: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: wrong ELF data format: ELFDATA2LSB
Killed
From where I can get this library, or if there is something else wrong.
Thanks for the valuable info, I've successfully installed openssl, but now I am getting different error message, Now on start of sshd daemon, I am getting following message :
bash-2.03# /usr/local/sbin/sshd start

You need to install patch 112438-03 or newer to create missing /dev/random and /dev/urandom devices.
Read this for details and go to sunsolve to get the needed patch.
