[openssh.git] / README.platform

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.

Solaris
-------
Currently, sshd does not support BSM auditting.  This can show up as errors
when editting cron entries via crontab.  See.
