Introduction to OpenSSH

The OpenSSH package contains ssh clients and the sshd daemon. This is useful for encrypting authentication and subsequent traffic over a network. The ssh client is a secure replacement for telnet.

Project Homepage: http://openssh.org/

Note

If you only want to use the client, you do not need to run the server and so do not need the startup script and links. In accordance with good practice, only run the server if you actually need it (and if you don't know whether you need it or not, it's likely that you don't!).

OpenSSH User/Group & PrivSep Dir

groupadd -g 48 sshd &&
useradd -c 'sshd PrivSep' -d /var/lib/sshd -g sshd -s /bin/false -u 48 sshd &&
install -v -m700 -d /var/lib/sshd &&
chown -v root:sys /var/lib/sshd

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh \
    --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --with-md5-passwords \
    --with-privsep-path=/var/lib/sshd \
    --with-default-path="/bin:/usr/bin" \
    --with-superuser-path="/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/openssh-6.3p1 &&
install -v -m644 INSTALL LICENCE OVERVIEW README* \
/usr/share/doc/openssh-6.3p1

Multilib

This package does not provide any libraries so only one installation is needed.

64Bit

Compile the package

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh \
    --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --with-md5-passwords \
    --with-privsep-path=/var/lib/sshd \
    --with-superuser-path="/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" &&
make
