This file contains notes about OpenSSH on specific platforms.
|
|
|
|
AIX
|
|
---
|
|
As of OpenSSH 3.8p1, sshd will now honour an accounts password expiry
|
|
settings, where previously it did not. Because of this, it's possible for
|
|
sites that have used OpenSSH's sshd exclusively to have accounts which
|
|
have passwords expired longer than the inactive time (ie the "Weeks between
|
|
password EXPIRATION and LOCKOUT" setting in SMIT or the maxexpired
|
|
chuser attribute).
|
|
|
|
Accounts in this state must have their passwords reset manually by the
|
|
administrator. As a precaution, it is recommended that the administrative
|
|
passwords be reset before upgrading from OpenSSH <3.8.
|
|
|
|
As of OpenSSH 4.0, configure will attempt to detect if your version
|
|
and maintenance level of AIX has a working getaddrinfo, and will use it
|
|
if found. This will enable IPv6 support. If for some reason configure
|
|
gets it wrong, or if you want to build binaries to work on earlier MLs
|
|
than the build host then you can add "-DBROKEN_GETADDRINFO" to CFLAGS
|
|
to force the previous IPv4-only behaviour.
|
|
|
|
IPv6 known to work: 5.1ML7 5.2ML2 5.2ML5
|
|
IPv6 known broken: 4.3.3ML11 5.1ML4
|
|
|
|
If you wish to use dynamic libraries that aren't in the normal system
|
|
locations (eg IBM's OpenSSL and zlib packages) then you will need to
|
|
define the environment variable blibpath before running configure, eg
|
|
|
|
blibpath=/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib ./configure \
|
|
--with-ssl-dir=/opt/freeware --with-zlib=/opt/freeware
|
|
|
|
If sshd is built with the WITH_AIXAUTHENTICATE option (which is enabled
|
|
by default) then sshd checks that users are permitted via the
|
|
loginrestrictions() function, in particular that the user has the
|
|
"rlogin" attribute set. This check is not done for the root account,
|
|
instead the PermitRootLogin setting in sshd_config is used.
|
|
|
|
If you are using the IBM compiler you probably want to use CC=xlc rather
|
|
than the default of cc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cygwin
|
|
------
|
|
To build on Cygwin, OpenSSH requires the following packages:
|
|
gcc, gcc-mingw-core, mingw-runtime, binutils, make, openssl,
|
|
openssl-devel, zlib, minres, minires-devel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Darwin and MacOS X
|
|
------------------
|
|
Darwin does not provide a tun(4) driver required for OpenSSH-based
|
|
virtual private networks. The BSD manpage still exists, but the driver
|
|
has been removed in recent releases of Darwin and MacOS X.
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless, tunnel support is known to work with Darwin 8 and
|
|
MacOS X 10.4 in Point-to-Point (Layer 3) and Ethernet (Layer 2) mode
|
|
using a third party driver. More information is available at:
|
|
http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~nissler/tuntap/
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Some Linux distributions (including Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS) include
|
|
headers and library links in the -devel RPMs rather than the main
|
|
binary RPMs. If you get an error about headers, or complaining about a
|
|
missing prerequisite then you may need to install the equivalent
|
|
development packages. On Redhat based distros these may be openssl-devel,
|
|
zlib-devel and pam-devel, on Debian based distros these may be
|
|
libssl-dev, libz-dev and libpam-dev.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solaris
|
|
-------
|
|
If you enable BSM auditing on Solaris, you need to update audit_event(4)
|
|
for praudit(1m) to give sensible output. The following line needs to be
|
|
added to /etc/security/audit_event:
|
|
|
|
32800:AUE_openssh:OpenSSH login:lo
|
|
|
|
The BSM audit event range available for third party TCB applications is
|
|
32768 - 65535. Event number 32800 has been chosen for AUE_openssh.
|
|
There is no official registry of 3rd party event numbers, so if this
|
|
number is already in use on your system, you may change it at build time
|
|
by configure'ing --with-cflags=-DAUE_openssh=32801 then rebuilding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Platforms using PAM
|
|
-------------------
|
|
As of OpenSSH 4.3p1, sshd will no longer check /etc/nologin itself when
|
|
PAM is enabled. To maintain existing behaviour, pam_nologin should be
|
|
added to sshd's session stack which will prevent users from starting shell
|
|
sessions. Alternatively, pam_nologin can be added to either the auth or
|
|
account stacks which will prevent authentication entirely, but will still
|
|
return the output from pam_nologin to the client.
