3c0ef626 | 1 | 1. Prerequisites |
2 | ---------------- | |
3 | ||
4 | You will need working installations of Zlib and OpenSSL. | |
5 | ||
acc3d05e | 6 | Zlib 1.1.4 or greater: |
9cb1827b | 7 | http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ |
3c0ef626 | 8 | |
700318f3 | 9 | OpenSSL 0.9.6 or greater: |
3c0ef626 | 10 | http://www.openssl.org/ |
11 | ||
9cb1827b | 12 | (OpenSSL 0.9.5a is partially supported, but some ciphers (SSH protocol 1 |
41b2f314 | 13 | Blowfish) do not work correctly.) |
3c0ef626 | 14 | |
15 | OpenSSH can utilise Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) if your system | |
16 | supports it. PAM is standard on Redhat and Debian Linux, Solaris and | |
17 | HP-UX 11. | |
18 | ||
9cb1827b | 19 | NB. If you operating system supports /dev/random, you should configure |
20 | OpenSSL to use it. OpenSSH relies on OpenSSL's direct support of | |
21 | /dev/random. If you don't you will have to rely on ssh-rand-helper, which | |
700318f3 | 22 | is inferior to a good kernel-based solution. |
23 | ||
3c0ef626 | 24 | PAM: |
25 | http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ | |
26 | ||
27 | If you wish to build the GNOME passphrase requester, you will need the GNOME | |
28 | libraries and headers. | |
29 | ||
30 | GNOME: | |
31 | http://www.gnome.org/ | |
32 | ||
33 | Alternatively, Jim Knoble <jmknoble@jmknoble.cx> has written an excellent X11 | |
34 | passphrase requester. This is maintained separately at: | |
35 | ||
acc3d05e | 36 | http://www.jmknoble.net/software/x11-ssh-askpass/ |
3c0ef626 | 37 | |
38 | PRNGD: | |
39 | ||
9cb1827b | 40 | If your system lacks Kernel based random collection, the use of Lutz |
3c0ef626 | 41 | Jaenicke's PRNGd is recommended. |
42 | ||
43 | http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html | |
44 | ||
45 | EGD: | |
46 | ||
47 | The Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD) is supported if you have a system which | |
48 | lacks /dev/random and don't want to use OpenSSH's internal entropy collection. | |
49 | ||
50 | http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ | |
51 | ||
3c0ef626 | 52 | S/Key Libraries: |
53 | http://www.sparc.spb.su/solaris/skey/ | |
54 | ||
55 | If you wish to use --with-skey then you will need the above library | |
56 | installed. No other current S/Key library is currently known to be | |
9cb1827b | 57 | supported. |
3c0ef626 | 58 | |
59 | 2. Building / Installation | |
60 | -------------------------- | |
61 | ||
62 | To install OpenSSH with default options: | |
63 | ||
64 | ./configure | |
65 | make | |
66 | make install | |
67 | ||
68 | This will install the OpenSSH binaries in /usr/local/bin, configuration files | |
69 | in /usr/local/etc, the server in /usr/local/sbin, etc. To specify a different | |
70 | installation prefix, use the --prefix option to configure: | |
71 | ||
72 | ./configure --prefix=/opt | |
73 | make | |
74 | make install | |
75 | ||
9cb1827b | 76 | Will install OpenSSH in /opt/{bin,etc,lib,sbin}. You can also override |
3c0ef626 | 77 | specific paths, for example: |
78 | ||
79 | ./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh | |
80 | make | |
81 | make install | |
82 | ||
83 | This will install the binaries in /opt/{bin,lib,sbin}, but will place the | |
84 | configuration files in /etc/ssh. | |
85 | ||
86 | If you are using PAM, you may need to manually install a PAM control | |
87 | file as "/etc/pam.d/sshd" (or wherever your system prefers to keep | |
88 | them). Note that the service name used to start PAM is __progname, | |
89 | which is the basename of the path of your sshd (e.g., the service name | |
90 | for /usr/sbin/osshd will be osshd). If you have renamed your sshd | |
91 | executable, your PAM configuration may need to be modified. | |
92 | ||
93 | A generic PAM configuration is included as "contrib/sshd.pam.generic", | |
94 | you may need to edit it before using it on your system. If you are | |
95 | using a recent version of Red Hat Linux, the config file in | |
96 | contrib/redhat/sshd.pam should be more useful. Failure to install a | |
97 | valid PAM file may result in an inability to use password | |
98 | authentication. On HP-UX 11 and Solaris, the standard /etc/pam.conf | |
99 | configuration will work with sshd (sshd will match the other service | |
100 | name). | |
101 | ||
102 | There are a few other options to the configure script: | |
103 | ||
acc3d05e | 104 | --with-pam enables PAM support. If PAM support is compiled in, it must |
105 | also be enabled in sshd_config (refer to the UsePAM directive). | |
3c0ef626 | 106 | |
9cb1827b | 107 | --with-prngd-socket=/some/file allows you to enable EGD or PRNGD |
108 | support and to specify a PRNGd socket. Use this if your Unix lacks | |
109 | /dev/random and you don't want to use OpenSSH's builtin entropy | |
3c0ef626 | 110 | collection support. |
111 | ||
9cb1827b | 112 | --with-prngd-port=portnum allows you to enable EGD or PRNGD support |
113 | and to specify a EGD localhost TCP port. Use this if your Unix lacks | |
114 | /dev/random and you don't want to use OpenSSH's builtin entropy | |
3c0ef626 | 115 | collection support. |
116 | ||
9cb1827b | 117 | --with-lastlog=FILE will specify the location of the lastlog file. |
3c0ef626 | 118 | ./configure searches a few locations for lastlog, but may not find |
119 | it if lastlog is installed in a different place. | |
120 | ||
121 | --without-lastlog will disable lastlog support entirely. | |
122 | ||
9cb1827b | 123 | --with-osfsia, --without-osfsia will enable or disable OSF1's Security |
3c0ef626 | 124 | Integration Architecture. The default for OSF1 machines is enable. |
125 | ||
9cb1827b | 126 | --with-skey=PATH will enable S/Key one time password support. You will |
3c0ef626 | 127 | need the S/Key libraries and header files installed for this to work. |
128 | ||
129 | --with-tcp-wrappers will enable TCP Wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow|deny) | |
130 | support. You will need libwrap.a and tcpd.h installed. | |
131 | ||
132 | --with-md5-passwords will enable the use of MD5 passwords. Enable this | |
9cb1827b | 133 | if your operating system uses MD5 passwords without using PAM. |
3c0ef626 | 134 | |
9cb1827b | 135 | --with-utmpx enables utmpx support. utmpx support is automatic for |
3c0ef626 | 136 | some platforms. |
137 | ||
138 | --without-shadow disables shadow password support. | |
139 | ||
9cb1827b | 140 | --with-ipaddr-display forces the use of a numeric IP address in the |
3c0ef626 | 141 | $DISPLAY environment variable. Some broken systems need this. |
142 | ||
143 | --with-default-path=PATH allows you to specify a default $PATH for sessions | |
144 | started by sshd. This replaces the standard path entirely. | |
145 | ||
146 | --with-pid-dir=PATH specifies the directory in which the ssh.pid file is | |
147 | created. | |
148 | ||
149 | --with-xauth=PATH specifies the location of the xauth binary | |
150 | ||
3c0ef626 | 151 | --with-ssl-dir=DIR allows you to specify where your OpenSSL libraries |
152 | are installed. | |
153 | ||
154 | --with-4in6 Check for IPv4 in IPv6 mapped addresses and convert them to | |
155 | real (AF_INET) IPv4 addresses. Works around some quirks on Linux. | |
156 | ||
700318f3 | 157 | --with-opensc=DIR |
158 | --with-sectok=DIR allows for OpenSC or sectok smartcard libraries to | |
159 | be used with OpenSSH. See 'README.smartcard' for more details. | |
160 | ||
3c0ef626 | 161 | If you need to pass special options to the compiler or linker, you |
162 | can specify these as environment variables before running ./configure. | |
163 | For example: | |
164 | ||
165 | CFLAGS="-O -m486" LDFLAGS="-s" LIBS="-lrubbish" LD="/usr/foo/ld" ./configure | |
166 | ||
167 | 3. Configuration | |
168 | ---------------- | |
169 | ||
9cb1827b | 170 | The runtime configuration files are installed by in ${prefix}/etc or |
3c0ef626 | 171 | whatever you specified as your --sysconfdir (/usr/local/etc by default). |
172 | ||
9cb1827b | 173 | The default configuration should be instantly usable, though you should |
3c0ef626 | 174 | review it to ensure that it matches your security requirements. |
175 | ||
176 | To generate a host key, run "make host-key". Alternately you can do so | |
9cb1827b | 177 | manually using the following commands: |
3c0ef626 | 178 | |
179 | ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N "" | |
180 | ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N "" | |
181 | ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N "" | |
182 | ||
183 | Replacing /etc/ssh with the correct path to the configuration directory. | |
9cb1827b | 184 | (${prefix}/etc or whatever you specified with --sysconfdir during |
3c0ef626 | 185 | configuration) |
186 | ||
187 | If you have configured OpenSSH with EGD support, ensure that EGD is | |
188 | running and has collected some Entropy. | |
189 | ||
9cb1827b | 190 | For more information on configuration, please refer to the manual pages |
3c0ef626 | 191 | for sshd, ssh and ssh-agent. |
192 | ||
193 | 4. Problems? | |
194 | ------------ | |
195 | ||
9cb1827b | 196 | If you experience problems compiling, installing or running OpenSSH. |
3c0ef626 | 197 | Please refer to the "reporting bugs" section of the webpage at |
198 | http://www.openssh.com/ | |
