2. Building / Installation
--------------------------
This will install the binaries in /opt/{bin,lib,sbin}, but will place the
configuration files in /etc/ssh.
-If you are using PAM, you will need to manually install a PAM
-control file as "/etc/pam.d/sshd" (or wherever your system
-prefers to keep them). A generic PAM configuration is included as
-"contrib/sshd.pam.generic", you may need to edit it before using it on
-your system. If you are using a recent version of Redhat Linux, the
-config file in contrib/redhat/sshd.pam should be more useful.
-Failure to install a valid PAM file may result in an inability to
-use password authentication.
+If you are using PAM, you may need to manually install a PAM control
+file as "/etc/pam.d/sshd" (or wherever your system prefers to keep
+them). Note that the service name used to start PAM is __progname,
+which is the basename of the path of your sshd (e.g., the service name
+for /usr/sbin/osshd will be osshd). If you have renamed your sshd
+executable, your PAM configuration may need to be modified.
+
+A generic PAM configuration is included as "contrib/sshd.pam.generic",
+you may need to edit it before using it on your system. If you are
+using a recent version of Red Hat Linux, the config file in
+contrib/redhat/sshd.pam should be more useful. Failure to install a
+valid PAM file may result in an inability to use password
+authentication. On HP-UX 11 and Solaris, the standard /etc/pam.conf
+configuration will work with sshd (sshd will match the other service
+name).
There are a few other options to the configure script:
may need to specify this option if rsh is not in your path or has a
different name.
---without-pam will disable PAM support. PAM is automatically detected
-and switched on if found.
+--with-pam enables PAM support.
--enable-gnome-askpass will build the GNOME passphrase dialog. You
need a working installation of GNOME, including the development
random numbers (the default is /dev/urandom). Unless you are absolutely
sure of what you are doing, it is best to leave this alone.
---with-egd-pool=/some/file allows you to enable Entropy Gathering
-Daemon support and to specify a EGD pool socket. Use this if your
-Unix lacks /dev/random and you don't want to use OpenSSH's builtin
-entropy collection support.
+--with-prngd-socket=/some/file allows you to enable EGD or PRNGD
+support and to specify a PRNGd socket. Use this if your Unix lacks
+/dev/random and you don't want to use OpenSSH's builtin entropy
+collection support.
+
+--with-prngd-port=portnum allows you to enable EGD or PRNGD support
+and to specify a EGD localhost TCP port. Use this if your Unix lacks
+/dev/random and you don't want to use OpenSSH's builtin entropy
+collection support.
--with-lastlog=FILE will specify the location of the lastlog file.
./configure searches a few locations for lastlog, but may not find
--without-lastlog will disable lastlog support entirely.
+--with-sia, --without-sia will enable or disable OSF1's Security
+Integration Architecture. The default for OSF1 machines is enable.
+
--with-kerberos4=PATH will enable Kerberos IV support. You will need
to have the Kerberos libraries and header files installed for this
to work. Use the optional PATH argument to specify the root of your
to work. Use the optional PATH argument to specify the root of your
AFS installation. AFS requires Kerberos support to be enabled.
---with-skey will enable S/Key one time password support. You will need
-the S/Key libraries and header files installed for this to work.
+--with-skey=PATH will enable S/Key one time password support. You will
+need the S/Key libraries and header files installed for this to work.
--with-tcp-wrappers will enable TCP Wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow|deny)
support. You will need libwrap.a and tcpd.h installed.
To generate a host key, run "make host-key". Alternately you can do so
manually using the following commands:
- ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ""
- ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""
+ ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ""
+ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ""
+ ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""
Replacing /etc/ssh with the correct path to the configuration directory.
