SSH Tectia server and Slackware help

cereal83 · 04-07-2006, 09:45 AM

Hey allm

I just need some help with SSH Tectia. I need to use SSH Tectia with slackware. When I go to their site they only have binaries for SUSE and Redhat but thats not good on slackware. I was wondering if anybody knew how or where I could get Tectia working on slackware. They have no source code and it sucks because I need it working.

Yes I am aware there is Open SSH with Slackware but this doesn't work for me as I require chrooting. I have tried other chrooting software but none of them are secure enough.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

If there are Suse/RedHat rpm's, Slackware has an utility rpm2tgz. You could try that.

I realize that there is that command but that never worked at all.

Any other ideas?

I think you should explain what you mean with "never worked at all". Rpm2tgz will always work on a RPM package, but you need to "installpkg" the resulting .tgz file. Even then, if the original RPM contained post-install scriptlets, these will not be copied into the .tgz and just installing the .tgz might not be enough for you.

Alienbob,

I do relaize I have to run installpkg after I run rpm2tgz but it didn't work because it was set up for a redhat machine. It installed stuff in weird directories and such. It just didn't work. The service wouldn't start and nothing was where it was suppost to be. Luckily, I found a differant version of ssh on their ftp server and that works like a charm so thanks.
