8bc7973f | 1 | 1. Prerequisites |
2 | ---------------- | |
3 | ||
4 | You will need working installations of Zlib and OpenSSL. | |
5 | ||
6 | Zlib: | |
7 | http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ | |
8 | ||
9 | OpenSSL: | |
10 | http://www.openssl.org/ | |
11 | ||
12 | OpenSSH can utilise Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) if your system | |
13 | supports it. PAM is standard on Redhat and Debian Linux and on Solaris. | |
14 | ||
15 | PAM: | |
16 | http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ | |
17 | ||
18 | If you wish to build the GNOME passphrase requestor, you will need the GNOME | |
19 | libraries and headers. | |
20 | ||
21 | GNOME: | |
22 | http://www.gnome.org/ | |
23 | ||
24 | If you are planning to use OpenSSH on a Unix which lacks a Kernel random | |
25 | number generator (/dev/urandom), you will need to install the Entropy | |
26 | Gathering Daemon (or similar). You will also need to specify the | |
27 | --with-egd-pool option to ./configure. | |
28 | ||
29 | EGD: | |
30 | http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ | |
31 | ||
9c08d6ce | 32 | GNU Make: |
33 | ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/ | |
34 | ||
35 | OpenSSH has only been tested with GNU make. It may work with other | |
36 | 'make' programs, but you are on your own. | |
8bc7973f | 37 | |
38 | 2. Building / Installation | |
39 | -------------------------- | |
40 | ||
41 | To install OpenSSH with default options: | |
42 | ||
43 | ./configure | |
44 | make | |
45 | make install | |
46 | ||
47 | This will install the OpenSSH binaries in /usr/local/bin, configuration files | |
48 | in /usr/local/etc, the server in /usr/local/sbin, etc. To specify a different | |
49 | installation prefix, use the --prefix option to configure: | |
50 | ||
51 | ./configure --prefix=/opt | |
52 | make | |
53 | make install | |
54 | ||
55 | Will install OpenSSH in /opt/{bin,etc,lib,sbin}. You can also override | |
56 | specific paths, for example: | |
57 | ||
58 | ./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh | |
59 | make | |
60 | make install | |
61 | ||
62 | This will install the binaries in /opt/{bin,lib,sbin}, but will place the | |
63 | configuration files in /etc/ssh. | |
64 | ||
4655fe80 | 65 | If you are using PAM, you will need to manually install a PAM control |
66 | file as "/etc/pam.d/sshd" (or wherever your system prefers to keep | |
67 | them). A generic PAM configuration is included as "sshd.pam.generic", | |
68 | you may need to edit it before using it on your system. | |
529c5440 | 69 | |
8bc7973f | 70 | There are a few other options to the configure script: |
71 | ||
721c55f0 | 72 | --enable-gnome-askpass will build the GNOME passphrase dialog. You |
73 | need a working installation of GNOME, including the development | |
74 | headers, for this to work. | |
8bc7973f | 75 | |
721c55f0 | 76 | --with-random=/some/file allows you to specify an alternate source of |
77 | random numbers (the default is /dev/urandom). Unless you are absolutly | |
8bc7973f | 78 | sure of what you are doing, it is best to leave this alone. |
79 | ||
721c55f0 | 80 | --with-egd-pool=/some/file allows you to enable Entropy Gathering |
81 | Daemon support and to specify a EGD pool socket. You will need to | |
82 | use this if your Unix does not support the /dev/urandom device (or | |
83 | similar). | |
8bc7973f | 84 | |
721c55f0 | 85 | --with-kerberos4 will enable Kerberos IV support. You will need to |
86 | have the Kerberos libraries and header files installed for this to | |
87 | work. | |
88 | ||
89 | --with-afs will enable AFS support. You will need to have the Kerberos | |
90 | IV and the AFS libraries and header files installed for this to work. | |
91 | ||
92 | --with-skey will enable S/Key one time password support. You will need | |
93 | the S/Key libraries and header files installed for this to work. | |
94 | ||
95 | --with-tcp-wrappers will enable TCP Wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow|deny) | |
96 | support. You will need libwrap.a and tcpd.h installed. | |
97 | ||
98 | --with-md5-passwords will enable the use of MD5 passwords. Enable this | |
99 | if your operating system uses MD5 passwords without using PAM. | |

102 | 3. Configuration | |
103 | ---------------- | |
104 | ||
105 | The runtime configuration files are installed by in ${prefix}/etc or | |
106 | whatever you specified as your --sysconfdir (/usr/local/etc by default). | |
107 | ||
108 | The default configuration should be instantly usable, though you should | |
109 | review it to ensure that it matches your security requirements. | |
110 | ||
3e807d1e | 111 | To generate a host key, issue the following command: (replacing |
112 | /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key with an appropriate path) | |
113 | ||
114 | /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N '' | |
115 | ||
7303768f | 116 | Replacing /etc/ssh with the correct path to the configuration directory. |
117 | (${prefix}/etc or whatever you specified with --sysconfdir during | |
118 | configuration) | |
119 | ||
8bc7973f | 120 | For more information on configuration, please refer to the manual pages |
121 | for sshd, ssh and ssh-agent. | |
122 | ||

124 | ------------ | |
125 | ||
126 | If you experience problems compiling, installing or running OpenSSH. | |
127 | Please refer to the "reporting bugs" section of the webpage at | |
