updating SSH
 

I wanted to update SSHd on my RH7.1. When I downloaded it and tried the following commands, this is what I got:

rpm -U openssh-3.1p1-6.i386.rpm

error: failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.2 is needed by openssh-3.1p1-6
openssh = 2.5.2p2-5 is needed by openssh-askpass-2.5.2p2-5
openssh = 2.5.2p2-5 is needed by openssh-clients-2.5.2p2-5
openssh = 2.5.2p2-5 is needed by openssh-server-2.5.2p2-5



Then I tried this:

rpm -U openssh-server-3.1p1-6.i386.rpm

error: failed dependencies:
openssh = 3.1p1-6 is needed by openssh-server-3.1p1-6
libcrypto.so.2 is needed by openssh-server-3.1p1-6
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.4) is needed by openssh-server-3.1p1-6


What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do?

Thanks, Walter:newbie:

There's a big version difference. Maybe try to compile it from source or find rpms de for RH7.1.

Looks like you need to get the latest versions of glibc and openssl.

I did one better. I upgraded to RH 7.3 :)

Did you apply any patches? I notice that the default RH 7.3 includes OpenSSH 3.1p1 and OpenSSL 0.9.6b. Both of these are affected by recent vulnerabilities. I don't run RH so I didn't check to see if they had fixed versions available.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

Walter.
