8bc7973f | 1 | 1. Prerequisites |
2 | ---------------- | |
3 | ||
4 | You will need working installations of Zlib and OpenSSL. | |
5 | ||
6 | Zlib: | |
7af3215a | 7 | http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ |
8bc7973f | 8 | |
4ca33cc5 | 9 | OpenSSL 0.9.6 or greater: |
8bc7973f | 10 | http://www.openssl.org/ |
11 | ||
af8fda37 | 12 | RPMs of OpenSSL are available at http://violet.ibs.com.au/openssh/files/support. |
13 | For Red Hat Linux 6.2, they have been released as errata. RHL7 includes | |
14 | these. | |
c323ac76 | 15 | |
8bc7973f | 16 | OpenSSH can utilise Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) if your system |
ca86bb3f | 17 | supports it. PAM is standard on Redhat and Debian Linux, Solaris and |
18 | HP-UX 11. | |
8bc7973f | 19 | |
20 | PAM: | |
21 | http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ | |
22 | ||
1a317551 | 23 | If you wish to build the GNOME passphrase requester, you will need the GNOME |
8bc7973f | 24 | libraries and headers. |
25 | ||
26 | GNOME: | |
27 | http://www.gnome.org/ | |
28 | ||
986a22ec | 29 | Alternatively, Jim Knoble <jmknoble@jmknoble.cx> has written an excellent X11 |
ff8ecdb8 | 30 | passphrase requester. This is maintained separately at: |
1a317551 | 31 | |
9755cbdb | 32 | http://www.ntrnet.net/~jmknoble/software/x11-ssh-askpass/index.html |
1a317551 | 33 | |
e1dd3a7a | 34 | PRNGD: |
35 | ||
36 | If your system lacks Kernel based random collection, the use of Lutz | |
37 | Jaenicke's PRNGd is recommended. | |
38 | ||
39 | http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html | |
40 | ||
41 | EGD: | |
42 | ||
e93ee87a | 43 | The Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD) is supported if you have a system which |
44 | lacks /dev/random and don't want to use OpenSSH's internal entropy collection. | |
8bc7973f | 45 | |

47 | ||
3e366738 | 48 | S/Key Libraries: |
49 | http://www.sparc.spb.su/solaris/skey/ | |
50 | ||
51 | If you wish to use --with-skey then you will need the above library | |
52 | installed. No other current S/Key library is currently known to be | |
44d5f7f7 | 53 | supported. |

8bc7973f | 55 | 2. Building / Installation |
56 | -------------------------- | |
57 | ||
58 | To install OpenSSH with default options: | |
59 | ||
60 | ./configure | |
61 | make | |
62 | make install | |
63 | ||
64 | This will install the OpenSSH binaries in /usr/local/bin, configuration files | |
65 | in /usr/local/etc, the server in /usr/local/sbin, etc. To specify a different | |
66 | installation prefix, use the --prefix option to configure: | |
67 | ||
68 | ./configure --prefix=/opt | |
69 | make | |
70 | make install | |
71 | ||
72 | Will install OpenSSH in /opt/{bin,etc,lib,sbin}. You can also override | |
73 | specific paths, for example: | |
74 | ||
75 | ./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh | |
76 | make | |
77 | make install | |
78 | ||
79 | This will install the binaries in /opt/{bin,lib,sbin}, but will place the | |
80 | configuration files in /etc/ssh. | |
81 | ||
4b28be2c | 82 | If you are using PAM, you may need to manually install a PAM control |
83 | file as "/etc/pam.d/sshd" (or wherever your system prefers to keep | |
84 | them). Note that the service name used to start PAM is __progname, | |
85 | which is the basename of the path of your sshd (e.g., the service name | |
86 | for /usr/sbin/osshd will be osshd). If you have renamed your sshd | |
87 | executable, your PAM configuration may need to be modified. | |
88 | ||
89 | A generic PAM configuration is included as "contrib/sshd.pam.generic", | |
90 | you may need to edit it before using it on your system. If you are | |
91 | using a recent version of Red Hat Linux, the config file in | |
92 | contrib/redhat/sshd.pam should be more useful. Failure to install a | |
93 | valid PAM file may result in an inability to use password | |
94 | authentication. On HP-UX 11 and Solaris, the standard /etc/pam.conf | |
95 | configuration will work with sshd (sshd will match the other service | |
ca86bb3f | 96 | name). |
529c5440 | 97 | |
8bc7973f | 98 | There are a few other options to the configure script: |
99 | ||
0bc5b6fb | 100 | --with-rsh=PATH allows you to specify the path to your rsh program. |
101 | Normally ./configure will search the current $PATH for 'rsh'. You | |
102 | may need to specify this option if rsh is not in your path or has a | |
103 | different name. | |
104 | ||
af8fda37 | 105 | --with-pam enables PAM support. |
0bc5b6fb | 106 | |
721c55f0 | 107 | --enable-gnome-askpass will build the GNOME passphrase dialog. You |
108 | need a working installation of GNOME, including the development | |
109 | headers, for this to work. | |
8bc7973f | 110 | |
721c55f0 | 111 | --with-random=/some/file allows you to specify an alternate source of |
c04f75f1 | 112 | random numbers (the default is /dev/urandom). Unless you are absolutely |
8bc7973f | 113 | sure of what you are doing, it is best to leave this alone. |
114 | ||
9bdd5929 | 115 | --with-prngd-socket=/some/file allows you to enable EGD or PRNGD |
116 | support and to specify a PRNGd socket. Use this if your Unix lacks | |
117 | /dev/random and you don't want to use OpenSSH's builtin entropy | |
118 | collection support. | |
119 | ||
120 | --with-prngd-port=portnum allows you to enable EGD or PRNGD support | |
121 | and to specify a EGD localhost TCP port. Use this if your Unix lacks | |
e1dd3a7a | 122 | /dev/random and you don't want to use OpenSSH's builtin entropy |
123 | collection support. | |
8bc7973f | 124 | |
0bc5b6fb | 125 | --with-lastlog=FILE will specify the location of the lastlog file. |
126 | ./configure searches a few locations for lastlog, but may not find | |
127 | it if lastlog is installed in a different place. | |
128 | ||
129 | --without-lastlog will disable lastlog support entirely. | |
130 | ||
99c8ddac | 131 | --with-sia, --without-sia will enable or disable OSF1's Security |
132 | Integration Architecture. The default for OSF1 machines is enable. | |
133 | ||
dfb95100 | 134 | --with-kerberos4=PATH will enable Kerberos IV support. You will need |
135 | to have the Kerberos libraries and header files installed for this | |
136 | to work. Use the optional PATH argument to specify the root of your | |
137 | Kerberos installation. | |
138 | ||
139 | --with-afs=PATH will enable AFS support. You will need to have the | |
140 | Kerberos IV and the AFS libraries and header files installed for this | |
141 | to work. Use the optional PATH argument to specify the root of your | |
142 | AFS installation. AFS requires Kerberos support to be enabled. | |
721c55f0 | 143 | |
3e366738 | 144 | --with-skey=PATH will enable S/Key one time password support. You will |
145 | need the S/Key libraries and header files installed for this to work. | |
721c55f0 | 146 | |
147 | --with-tcp-wrappers will enable TCP Wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow|deny) | |
148 | support. You will need libwrap.a and tcpd.h installed. | |
149 | ||
150 | --with-md5-passwords will enable the use of MD5 passwords. Enable this | |
151 | if your operating system uses MD5 passwords without using PAM. | |
045672f9 | 152 | |
0bc5b6fb | 153 | --with-utmpx enables utmpx support. utmpx support is automatic for |
154 | some platforms. | |
155 | ||
156 | --without-shadow disables shadow password support. | |
157 | ||
158 | --with-ipaddr-display forces the use of a numeric IP address in the | |
159 | $DISPLAY environment variable. Some broken systems need this. | |
160 | ||
161 | --with-default-path=PATH allows you to specify a default $PATH for sessions | |
bd499f9e | 162 | started by sshd. This replaces the standard path entirely. |
0bc5b6fb | 163 | |
47e45e44 | 164 | --with-pid-dir=PATH specifies the directory in which the ssh.pid file is |
165 | created. | |
166 | ||
167 | --with-xauth=PATH specifies the location of the xauth binary | |
168 | ||
59e76f33 | 169 | --with-ipv4-default instructs OpenSSH to use IPv4 by default for new |
170 | connections. Normally OpenSSH will try attempt to lookup both IPv6 and | |
171 | IPv4 addresses. On Linux/glibc-2.1.2 this causes long delays in name | |
172 | resolution. If this option is specified, you can still attempt to | |
173 | connect to IPv6 addresses using the command line option '-6'. | |
174 | ||
d581b7ae | 175 | --with-ssl-dir=DIR allows you to specify where your OpenSSL libraries |
176 | are installed. | |
177 | ||
b7a9ce47 | 178 | --with-4in6 Check for IPv4 in IPv6 mapped addresses and convert them to |
179 | real (AF_INET) IPv4 addresses. Works around some quirks on Linux. | |
180 | ||
d94aa2ae | 181 | If you need to pass special options to the compiler or linker, you |
c04f75f1 | 182 | can specify these as environment variables before running ./configure. |
d94aa2ae | 183 | For example: |
184 | ||
b817711d | 185 | CFLAGS="-O -m486" LDFLAGS="-s" LIBS="-lrubbish" LD="/usr/foo/ld" ./configure |
8bc7973f | 186 | |
187 | 3. Configuration | |
188 | ---------------- | |
189 | ||
190 | The runtime configuration files are installed by in ${prefix}/etc or | |
191 | whatever you specified as your --sysconfdir (/usr/local/etc by default). | |
192 | ||
193 | The default configuration should be instantly usable, though you should | |
194 | review it to ensure that it matches your security requirements. | |
195 | ||
6bf4d066 | 196 | To generate a host key, run "make host-key". Alternately you can do so |
74b224a0 | 197 | manually using the following commands: |
3e807d1e | 198 | |
af8fda37 | 199 | ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N "" |
200 | ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N "" | |
201 | ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N "" | |
3e807d1e | 202 | |
7303768f | 203 | Replacing /etc/ssh with the correct path to the configuration directory. |
204 | (${prefix}/etc or whatever you specified with --sysconfdir during | |
205 | configuration) | |
206 | ||
60d804c8 | 207 | If you have configured OpenSSH with EGD support, ensure that EGD is |
208 | running and has collected some Entropy. | |
209 | ||
8bc7973f | 210 | For more information on configuration, please refer to the manual pages |
211 | for sshd, ssh and ssh-agent. | |
