Installing OpenSSH on AIX - Update

Date: August 22, 2005OpenSSH is a freeware tool that provides a secure, industry accepted alternative to the "r-commands",telnet and ftp. The download location and installation procedure have changed numerous times. The currentprocedure requires two steps:First install the prereq OpenSSL libraries. The "rpm" install file can be found on the "Linux Toolbox for AIX"CD or downloaded from the web athttps://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixtbx&S_PKG=dlaixww I recommend downloading from the website to ensure you get the most current version and one that is iscompatible with the current OpenSSH version. You'll need to register to do the download. It's painless.Second, install OpenSSH. The install file can be downloaded fromhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/openssh-aix For more information seehttp://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/articles/openssh_aix.html http://www.openssh.org Finally if you want to use "ssh" with your PC, you'll need the client code. I use "putty", which can be found athttp://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

Date: September 9, 2003Security concerns are common to all operating systems (not just Windows). Two common exposures are the

telnet

and

ftp

commands. Both commands transmit the password over the network in clear text, making ittrivial for a hacker to capture and use the password to gain entry.One alternative is the public domain

openSSH

tool (secure shell). It provides secure remote login and filetransfer. You should consider installing it (or equivalent) on all servers, especially those connected to apublic network. The attached filedescribes how to obtain and install SSH on AIX. Documentation for SSH can be found at the website:http://www.openssh.org Update May 2005:Download OpenSSH Finally, I use PuTTY on my Windows PC. PuTTY is freeware implementation SSH for Win32 platforms. Itcan be downloaded from:http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty

Installing openSSH on AIX

This document describes the procedure for installing openSSH on AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1.

Installing OpenSSH on AIX 4.3.3

At 4.3.3., the openSSH is installed using the RPM format packages, not by using installp format which isavailable at 5.1. and 5.2. In this procedure, you need to follow these three steps:

1.Installing the prerequisite filesets.2.Downloading the rpm packages.3.Installing the prerequisite rpm packages openSSH rpm packages.1.

Installing the prerequiste filesets.

The filesets

rpm.rte

and

perl.rte

are required to be installed prior to installing the rpm packages.The

rpm.rte

fileset can be found at the following:

Linux Toolbox CD or Linux Toolbox Websitehttp://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/download.html

The filesets can be installed using

smitty installp

.2.

Downloading the rpm packages.

The

rpm

packages can be downloaded from the following website:http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/download.html Once on that page, the

prngd

(Psuedo Random Number Generator Daemon) daemon and the

zlib

compression and decompression library can be downloaded. These are the prerequistes for installing the

openssl rpm

package. These are

prngd-0.9.23-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm

and

zlib-1.1.4-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm

respectively.Then click

AIX TOOLbox Cryptographic Content

on the sorted content download in theupper right area and then register yourself, if you are not already a registered user. Then click on

Accept License

button at the bottom of the panel that appears and then you are ready todownload the

openssl

and

openssh rpm

packages which are:

openssl-0.9e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpmopenssl-devel-0.9.6e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpmopenssl-doc-0.9.6e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpmopenssh-3.4p1-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpmopenssh-server-3.4p1-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpmopenssh-clients-3.4p1-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpm

3.

Installing the prerequisite rpm packages.

Once you have all the

rpm

files in the current directory, run the following commands to install them.

# rpm -i zlib-1.1.4-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm# rpm -i prngd-0.9.23-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm# rpm -i openssl-0.9e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm# rpm -i openssl-devel-0.9.6e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm# rpm -i openssl-doc-0.9.6e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm# rpm -i openssh-3.4p1-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpm# rpm -i openssh-server-3.4p1-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpm# rpm -i openssh-clients-3.4p1-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpm

Sometimes you may get the

error: failed dependencies

error while trying to install the

openssl

packages. In that case, run the following command:

# rpm -i --nodeps openssl-0.9.6e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm

The following command can be run to update the AIX-rpm:

# /usr/sbin/updtvpkg

The

prngd

needs to be installed before

openssl

and

openssh

, and

openssl

is the prerequiste for installing the

openssh rpm

packages. The

openssl-devel-0.9.6e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm

and the

openssl-doc-0.9.6e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm

are not the required packages for installing the openSSH.To verify that these packages are installed, run the following command:

# rpm -qa | egrep '(openssl|openssh|prng)'-->zlib-1.1.4-1prngd-0.9.23-2openssl-0.9.6e-2openssl-devel-0.9.6e-2

openssl-doc-0.9.6e-2openssh-3.4p1-4openssh-server-3.4p1-4openssh-clients-3.4p1-4

These packages are installed under the

/opt/freeware

directory, and several symbolic links arecreated in

/usr/bin

or

/usr/sbin

, as shown in the following example:

# ls -l /usr/bin/sshlrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 26 Oct 17 08:07 /usr/bin/ssh-> ../../opt/freeware/bin/ssh# ls -l /usr/sbin/sshdlrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 28 Oct 17 08:06 /usr/sbin/sshd-> ../../opt/freeware/sbin/sshd

Installing openSSH on 5.1

At 5.1., the installation of

openssh

itself is in

installp

format, but all the prerequisites (including

openssl

)can be installed using the same

rpm -i

commands (using the same 4.3.3.

rpm

packages).The

installp

format package can be downloaded from the following site:http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/opensshi.After installing the prerequisites using the following commands:

# rpm -i zlib-1.1.4-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm# rpm -i prngd-0.9.23-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm# rpm -i openssl-0.9e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm# rpm -i openssl-devel-0.9.6e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm# rpm -i openssl-doc-0.9.6e-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm

Use

smitty installp

to install the

openssh

fileset extracted from the tar file

openssh34p1_51.tar

. Thefollowing filesets are needed to be extracted from the

tar

file to install openSSH.

openssh.base.clientopenssh.base.serveropenssh.licenseopenssh.man.en_USopenssh.msg.en_US

You also need to change the field for

Accept new License agreement

to

yes

in the smit panel or else the installation will fail.

# lslpp -l | grep ssh <-- you can see the fileset are installed.openssh.base.client 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Commandsopenssh.base.server 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Serveropenssh.license 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Licenseopenssh.man.en_US 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shellopenssh.msg.en_US 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Messages -

You also need to change the field for

Accept new License agreement

to

yes

in the smit panel or else the installation will fail.

# lslpp -l | grep ssh <-- you can see the fileset are installed.openssh.base.client 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Commandsopenssh.base.server 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Serveropenssh.license 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Licenseopenssh.man.en_US 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shellopenssh.msg.en_US 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Messages -openssh.base.client 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Commandsopenssh.base.server 3.4.0.0 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Server

In this case, you notice that the

ssh

commands are in the

/usr/bin

directory:

# ls -al /usr/bin/ssh-r-xr-xr-x 1 root system 503240 Sep 06 13:11 /usr/bin/ssh
