1. Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need working installations of Zlib and OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zlib:
|
|
|
|
http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL:
|
|
|
|
http://www.openssl.org/
|
|
|
|
|
2000-04-13 02:19:32 +00:00
|
|
|
RPMs of OpenSSL are available in the support/ directory of the OpenSSH
|
|
|
|
mirror site. OpenSSH requires OpenSSL version 0.9.5 or later.
|
|
|
|
|
1999-11-12 03:35:58 +00:00
|
|
|
OpenSSH can utilise Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) if your system
|
|
|
|
supports it. PAM is standard on Redhat and Debian Linux and on Solaris.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
If you wish to build the GNOME passphrase requester, you will need the GNOME
|
1999-11-12 03:35:58 +00:00
|
|
|
libraries and headers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GNOME:

|
|
|
Alternatively, Jim Knoble <jmknoble@pobox.com> has written an excellent X11
|
|
|
|
passphrase requester. This is maintained separately at:

|
|
|
If you are planning to use OpenSSH on a Unix which lacks a Kernel random
|
|
|
|
number generator (/dev/urandom), you will need to install the Entropy
|
|
|
|
Gathering Daemon (or similar). You will also need to specify the
|
|
|
|
--with-egd-pool option to ./configure.
|
|
|

|
GNU Make:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH has only been tested with GNU make. It may work with other
|
|
|
|
'make' programs, but you are on your own.
|

|
|
2. Building / Installation
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install OpenSSH with default options:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will install the OpenSSH binaries in /usr/local/bin, configuration files
|
|
|
|
in /usr/local/etc, the server in /usr/local/sbin, etc. To specify a different
|
|
|
|
installation prefix, use the --prefix option to configure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/opt
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Will install OpenSSH in /opt/{bin,etc,lib,sbin}. You can also override
|
|
|
|
specific paths, for example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will install the binaries in /opt/{bin,lib,sbin}, but will place the
|
|
|
|
configuration files in /etc/ssh.
|
|
|
|
|
2000-03-16 00:51:09 +00:00
|
|
|
If you are using PAM, you will need to manually install a PAM
|
|
|
|
control file as "/etc/pam.d/sshd" (or wherever your system
|
|
|
|
prefers to keep them). A generic PAM configuration is included as
|
|
|
|
"contrib/sshd.pam.generic", you may need to edit it before using it on
|
|
|
|
your system. If you are using a recent version of Redhat Linux, the
|
|
|
|
config file in contrib/redhat/sshd.pam should be more useful.
|
1999-11-22 05:12:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1999-11-12 03:35:58 +00:00
|
|
|
There are a few other options to the configure script:
|
|
|
|
|
1999-12-30 04:50:54 +00:00
|
|
|
--with-rsh=PATH allows you to specify the path to your rsh program.
|
|
|
|
Normally ./configure will search the current $PATH for 'rsh'. You
|
|
|
|
may need to specify this option if rsh is not in your path or has a
|
|
|
|
different name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--without-pam will disable PAM support. PAM is automatically detected
|
|
|
|
and switched on if found.
|
|
|
|
|
1999-11-19 04:53:50 +00:00
|
|
|
--enable-gnome-askpass will build the GNOME passphrase dialog. You
|
|
|
|
need a working installation of GNOME, including the development
|
|
|
|
headers, for this to work.
|
1999-11-12 03:35:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1999-11-19 04:53:50 +00:00
|
|
|
--with-random=/some/file allows you to specify an alternate source of
|
|
|
|
random numbers (the default is /dev/urandom). Unless you are absolutly
|
1999-11-12 03:35:58 +00:00
|
|
|
sure of what you are doing, it is best to leave this alone.
|
|
|
|
|
1999-11-19 04:53:50 +00:00
|
|
|
--with-egd-pool=/some/file allows you to enable Entropy Gathering
|
|
|
|
Daemon support and to specify a EGD pool socket. You will need to
|
|
|
|
use this if your Unix does not support the /dev/urandom device (or
|
1999-12-16 02:05:30 +00:00
|
|
|
similar). The file argument refers to the EGD pool file, not the
|
|
|
|
EGD program itself. Please refer to the EGD documentation.
|
1999-11-12 03:35:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1999-12-30 04:50:54 +00:00
|
|
|
--with-lastlog=FILE will specify the location of the lastlog file.
|
|
|
|
./configure searches a few locations for lastlog, but may not find
|
|
|
|
it if lastlog is installed in a different place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--without-lastlog will disable lastlog support entirely.
|
|
|
|
|
2000-01-06 21:45:55 +00:00
|
|
|
--with-kerberos4=PATH will enable Kerberos IV support. You will need
|
|
|
|
to have the Kerberos libraries and header files installed for this
|
|
|
|
to work. Use the optional PATH argument to specify the root of your
|
|
|
|
Kerberos installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--with-afs=PATH will enable AFS support. You will need to have the
|
|
|
|
Kerberos IV and the AFS libraries and header files installed for this
|
|
|
|
to work. Use the optional PATH argument to specify the root of your
|
|
|
|
AFS installation. AFS requires Kerberos support to be enabled.
|
1999-11-19 04:53:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--with-skey will enable S/Key one time password support. You will need
|
|
|
|
the S/Key libraries and header files installed for this to work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--with-tcp-wrappers will enable TCP Wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow|deny)
|
|
|
|
support. You will need libwrap.a and tcpd.h installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--with-md5-passwords will enable the use of MD5 passwords. Enable this
|
|
|
|
if your operating system uses MD5 passwords without using PAM.
|
1999-11-12 04:46:08 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1999-12-30 04:50:54 +00:00
|
|
|
--with-utmpx enables utmpx support. utmpx support is automatic for
|
|
|
|
some platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--without-shadow disables shadow password support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--with-ipaddr-display forces the use of a numeric IP address in the
|
|
|
|
$DISPLAY environment variable. Some broken systems need this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--with-default-path=PATH allows you to specify a default $PATH for sessions
|
2000-03-16 23:54:15 +00:00
|
|
|
started by sshd. This replaces the standard path entirely.
|
1999-12-30 04:50:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2000-01-16 01:05:18 +00:00
|
|
|
--with-pid-dir=PATH specifies the directory in which the ssh.pid file is
|
|
|
|
created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--with-xauth=PATH specifies the location of the xauth binary
|
|
|
|
|
2000-01-19 03:36:49 +00:00
|
|
|
--with-ipv4-default instructs OpenSSH to use IPv4 by default for new
|
|
|
|
connections. Normally OpenSSH will try attempt to lookup both IPv6 and
|
|
|
|
IPv4 addresses. On Linux/glibc-2.1.2 this causes long delays in name
|
|
|
|
resolution. If this option is specified, you can still attempt to
|
|
|
|
connect to IPv6 addresses using the command line option '-6'.
|
|
|
|
|
2000-02-03 02:58:51 +00:00
|
|
|
--with-ssl-dir=DIR allows you to specify where your OpenSSL libraries
|
|
|
|
are installed.
|
|
|
|
|
2000-03-16 00:51:09 +00:00
|
|
|
--with-4in6 Check for IPv4 in IPv6 mapped addresses and convert them to
|
|
|
|
real (AF_INET) IPv4 addresses. Works around some quirks on Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
1999-12-28 04:09:35 +00:00
|
|
|
If you need to pass special options to the compiler or linker, you
|
|
|
|
can specify these as enviornment variables before running ./configure.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
|
2000-03-16 00:51:09 +00:00
|
|
|
CFLAGS="-O -m486" LFLAGS="-s" LIBS="-lrubbish" LD="/usr/foo/ld" ./configure
|
1999-11-12 03:35:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Configuration
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The runtime configuration files are installed by in ${prefix}/etc or
|
|
|
|
whatever you specified as your --sysconfdir (/usr/local/etc by default).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default configuration should be instantly usable, though you should
|
|
|
|
review it to ensure that it matches your security requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
2000-03-03 11:13:52 +00:00
|
|
|
To generate a host key, run "make host-key". Alternately you can do so
|
|
|
|
manually using the following command:
|
1999-11-15 12:34:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ''
|
|
|
|
|
1999-12-14 04:43:03 +00:00
|
|
|
Replacing /etc/ssh with the correct path to the configuration directory.
|
|
|
|
(${prefix}/etc or whatever you specified with --sysconfdir during
|
|
|
|
configuration)
|
|
|
|
|
1999-12-16 02:05:30 +00:00
|
|
|
If you have configured OpenSSH with EGD support, ensure that EGD is
|
|
|
|
running and has collected some Entropy.
|
|
|
|
|
1999-11-12 03:35:58 +00:00
|
|
|
For more information on configuration, please refer to the manual pages
|
|
|
|
for sshd, ssh and ssh-agent.
|
|
|

|
|
|
4. Problems?

|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
