8bc7973f | 1 | 1. Prerequisites |
2 | ---------------- | |
3 | ||
4 | You will need working installations of Zlib and OpenSSL. | |
5 | ||
6 | Zlib: | |
c04f75f1 | 7 | http://www.freesoftware.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ |
8bc7973f | 8 | |
72567c57 | 9 | OpenSSL 0.9.5a or greater: |
8bc7973f | 10 | http://www.openssl.org/ |
11 | ||
a905808d | 12 | RPMs of OpenSSL are available at http://violet.ibs.com.au/openssh/files/support |
c323ac76 | 13 | |
8bc7973f | 14 | OpenSSH can utilise Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) if your system |
15 | supports it. PAM is standard on Redhat and Debian Linux and on Solaris. | |
16 | ||
17 | PAM: | |
18 | http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ | |
19 | ||
1a317551 | 20 | If you wish to build the GNOME passphrase requester, you will need the GNOME |
8bc7973f | 21 | libraries and headers. |
22 | ||
23 | GNOME: | |
24 | http://www.gnome.org/ | |
25 | ||
ff8ecdb8 | 26 | Alternatively, Jim Knoble <jmknoble@pobox.com> has written an excellent X11 |
27 | passphrase requester. This is maintained separately at: | |
1a317551 | 28 | |
9755cbdb | 29 | http://www.ntrnet.net/~jmknoble/software/x11-ssh-askpass/index.html |
1a317551 | 30 | |
e93ee87a | 31 | The Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD) is supported if you have a system which |
32 | lacks /dev/random and don't want to use OpenSSH's internal entropy collection. | |
8bc7973f | 33 | |
34 | EGD: | |
35 | http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ | |
36 | ||
9c08d6ce | 37 | GNU Make: |
38 | ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/ | |
39 | ||
40 | OpenSSH has only been tested with GNU make. It may work with other | |
41 | 'make' programs, but you are on your own. | |
8bc7973f | 42 | |
43 | 2. Building / Installation | |
44 | -------------------------- | |
45 | ||
46 | To install OpenSSH with default options: | |
47 | ||
48 | ./configure | |
49 | make | |
50 | make install | |
51 | ||
52 | This will install the OpenSSH binaries in /usr/local/bin, configuration files | |
53 | in /usr/local/etc, the server in /usr/local/sbin, etc. To specify a different | |
54 | installation prefix, use the --prefix option to configure: | |
55 | ||
56 | ./configure --prefix=/opt | |
57 | make | |
58 | make install | |
59 | ||
60 | Will install OpenSSH in /opt/{bin,etc,lib,sbin}. You can also override | |
61 | specific paths, for example: | |
62 | ||
63 | ./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh | |
64 | make | |
65 | make install | |
66 | ||
67 | This will install the binaries in /opt/{bin,lib,sbin}, but will place the | |
68 | configuration files in /etc/ssh. | |
69 | ||
b7a9ce47 | 70 | If you are using PAM, you will need to manually install a PAM |
71 | control file as "/etc/pam.d/sshd" (or wherever your system | |
72 | prefers to keep them). A generic PAM configuration is included as | |
73 | "contrib/sshd.pam.generic", you may need to edit it before using it on | |
74 | your system. If you are using a recent version of Redhat Linux, the | |
75 | config file in contrib/redhat/sshd.pam should be more useful. | |
529c5440 | 76 | |
8bc7973f | 77 | There are a few other options to the configure script: |
78 | ||
0bc5b6fb | 79 | --with-rsh=PATH allows you to specify the path to your rsh program. |
80 | Normally ./configure will search the current $PATH for 'rsh'. You | |
81 | may need to specify this option if rsh is not in your path or has a | |
82 | different name. | |
83 | ||
84 | --without-pam will disable PAM support. PAM is automatically detected | |
85 | and switched on if found. | |
86 | ||
721c55f0 | 87 | --enable-gnome-askpass will build the GNOME passphrase dialog. You |
88 | need a working installation of GNOME, including the development | |
89 | headers, for this to work. | |
8bc7973f | 90 | |
721c55f0 | 91 | --with-random=/some/file allows you to specify an alternate source of |
c04f75f1 | 92 | random numbers (the default is /dev/urandom). Unless you are absolutely |
8bc7973f | 93 | sure of what you are doing, it is best to leave this alone. |
94 | ||
721c55f0 | 95 | --with-egd-pool=/some/file allows you to enable Entropy Gathering |
e93ee87a | 96 | Daemon support and to specify a EGD pool socket. Use this if your |
97 | Unix lacks /dev/random and you don't want to use OpenSSH's builtin | |
98 | entropy collection support. | |
8bc7973f | 99 | |
0bc5b6fb | 100 | --with-lastlog=FILE will specify the location of the lastlog file. |
101 | ./configure searches a few locations for lastlog, but may not find | |
102 | it if lastlog is installed in a different place. | |
103 | ||
104 | --without-lastlog will disable lastlog support entirely. | |
105 | ||
dfb95100 | 106 | --with-kerberos4=PATH will enable Kerberos IV support. You will need |
107 | to have the Kerberos libraries and header files installed for this | |
108 | to work. Use the optional PATH argument to specify the root of your | |
109 | Kerberos installation. | |
110 | ||
111 | --with-afs=PATH will enable AFS support. You will need to have the | |
112 | Kerberos IV and the AFS libraries and header files installed for this | |
113 | to work. Use the optional PATH argument to specify the root of your | |
114 | AFS installation. AFS requires Kerberos support to be enabled. | |
721c55f0 | 115 | |
116 | --with-skey will enable S/Key one time password support. You will need | |
117 | the S/Key libraries and header files installed for this to work. | |
118 | ||
119 | --with-tcp-wrappers will enable TCP Wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow|deny) | |
120 | support. You will need libwrap.a and tcpd.h installed. | |
121 | ||
122 | --with-md5-passwords will enable the use of MD5 passwords. Enable this | |
123 | if your operating system uses MD5 passwords without using PAM. | |
045672f9 | 124 | |
0bc5b6fb | 125 | --with-utmpx enables utmpx support. utmpx support is automatic for |
126 | some platforms. | |
127 | ||
128 | --without-shadow disables shadow password support. | |
129 | ||
130 | --with-ipaddr-display forces the use of a numeric IP address in the | |
131 | $DISPLAY environment variable. Some broken systems need this. | |
132 | ||
133 | --with-default-path=PATH allows you to specify a default $PATH for sessions | |
bd499f9e | 134 | started by sshd. This replaces the standard path entirely. |
0bc5b6fb | 135 | |
47e45e44 | 136 | --with-pid-dir=PATH specifies the directory in which the ssh.pid file is |
137 | created. | |
138 | ||
139 | --with-xauth=PATH specifies the location of the xauth binary | |
140 | ||
59e76f33 | 141 | --with-ipv4-default instructs OpenSSH to use IPv4 by default for new |
142 | connections. Normally OpenSSH will try attempt to lookup both IPv6 and | |
143 | IPv4 addresses. On Linux/glibc-2.1.2 this causes long delays in name | |
144 | resolution. If this option is specified, you can still attempt to | |
145 | connect to IPv6 addresses using the command line option '-6'. | |
146 | ||
d581b7ae | 147 | --with-ssl-dir=DIR allows you to specify where your OpenSSL libraries |
148 | are installed. | |
149 | ||
b7a9ce47 | 150 | --with-4in6 Check for IPv4 in IPv6 mapped addresses and convert them to |
151 | real (AF_INET) IPv4 addresses. Works around some quirks on Linux. | |
152 | ||
d94aa2ae | 153 | If you need to pass special options to the compiler or linker, you |
c04f75f1 | 154 | can specify these as environment variables before running ./configure. |
d94aa2ae | 155 | For example: |
156 | ||
b7a9ce47 | 157 | CFLAGS="-O -m486" LFLAGS="-s" LIBS="-lrubbish" LD="/usr/foo/ld" ./configure |
8bc7973f | 158 | |
159 | 3. Configuration | |
160 | ---------------- | |
161 | ||
162 | The runtime configuration files are installed by in ${prefix}/etc or | |
163 | whatever you specified as your --sysconfdir (/usr/local/etc by default). | |
164 | ||
165 | The default configuration should be instantly usable, though you should | |
166 | review it to ensure that it matches your security requirements. | |
167 | ||
6bf4d066 | 168 | To generate a host key, run "make host-key". Alternately you can do so |
169 | manually using the following command: | |
3e807d1e | 170 | |
171 | /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N '' | |
172 | ||
7303768f | 173 | Replacing /etc/ssh with the correct path to the configuration directory. |
174 | (${prefix}/etc or whatever you specified with --sysconfdir during | |
175 | configuration) | |
176 | ||
60d804c8 | 177 | If you have configured OpenSSH with EGD support, ensure that EGD is |
178 | running and has collected some Entropy. | |
179 | ||
8bc7973f | 180 | For more information on configuration, please refer to the manual pages |
181 | for sshd, ssh and ssh-agent. | |
182 | ||
