Some Compiling NOTES
– If you have problems and decide to start over, run “echo $?” after each command to see if you have errors in your steps
– If you get an error “Cannot find ELF”, it may be because you are using the gnu strip (from binutils). Use the strip that comes with Solaris in /usr/ccs/bin
1) Install compiler (gcc or equivalent – I used Forte Developer 7). You can install gcc with packages SUNWgcmn and SUNWgcc from the Solaris Companion CD or you can get it from sunfreeware.com.
2) path set – cc and make in your path
ie: PATH=/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:$PATH
The “make” binary is /usr/ccs/bin and if you got gcc from the companion cd, it will be in /opt/sfw/bin (if you got it from sunfreeware.com, it will be in /usr/local/bin)
3) Install patch 112438-01 (reboot the machine after install)
4) Install Openssl (from openssl.org) – latest version as of this writing is 0.96g.
./Config
make
make install
5) Install Openssh (openssh.org) – latest version as of this writing is 3.4p1 – I’m configuring it with pam (so that I can authenticate via ldap) and xauth (so that I can do XForwarding)
./configure –with-pam –with-xauth=/usr/openwin/bin/xauth
make
make install
6) Create a user for ssh
useradd -g nobody -s ‘/usr/bin/false’ sshd
7) If you want XForwarding, in /usr/local/etc/sshd_config, set:
X11Forwarding yes
8) Start the SSH server
/usr/local/sbin/sshd
9) You may want a script to start the ssh server. This is a modified version of the one I took from a source I can’t remember:
#!/sbin/sh
#
# Init file for OpenSSH server daemon
RETVAL=0
prog=”sshd”
