1 This file contains notes about OpenSSH on specific platforms. 2 3 AIX 4 --- 5 As of OpenSSH 3.8p1, sshd will now honour an accounts password expiry 6 settings, where previously it did not. Because of this, it's possible for 7 sites that have used OpenSSH's sshd exclusively to have accounts which 8 have passwords expired longer than the inactive time (ie the "Weeks between 9 password EXPIRATION and LOCKOUT" setting in SMIT or the maxexpired 10 chuser attribute). 11 12 Accounts in this state must have their passwords reset manually by the 13 administrator. As a precaution, it is recommended that the administrative 14 passwords be reset before upgrading from OpenSSH <3.8. 15 16 As of OpenSSH 4.0, configure will attempt to detect if your version 17 and maintenance level of AIX has a working getaddrinfo, and will use it 18 if found. This will enable IPv6 support. If for some reason configure 19 gets it wrong, or if you want to build binaries to work on earlier MLs 20 than the build host then you can add "-DBROKEN_GETADDRINFO" to CFLAGS 21 to force the previous IPv4-only behaviour. 22 23 IPv6 known to work: 5.1ML7 5.2ML2 5.2ML5 24 IPv6 known broken: 4.3.3ML11 5.1ML4 25 26 If you wish to use dynamic libraries that aren't in the normal system 27 locations (eg IBM's OpenSSL and zlib packages) then you will need to 28 define the environment variable blibpath before running configure, eg 29 30 blibpath=/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib ./configure \ 31 --with-ssl-dir=/opt/freeware --with-zlib=/opt/freeware 32 33 If sshd is built with the WITH_AIXAUTHENTICATE option (which is enabled 34 by default) then sshd checks that users are permitted via the 35 loginrestrictions() function, in particular that the user has the 36 "rlogin" attribute set. This check is not done for the root account, 37 instead the PermitRootLogin setting in sshd_config is used. 38 39 40 Cygwin 41 ------ 42 To build on Cygwin, OpenSSH requires the following packages: 43 gcc, gcc-mingw-core, mingw-runtime, binutils, make, openssl, 44 openssl-devel, zlib, minres, minires-devel. 45 46 47 Darwin and MacOS X 48 ------------------ 49 Darwin does not provide a tun(4) driver required for OpenSSH-based 50 virtual private networks. The BSD manpage still exists, but the driver 51 has been removed in recent releases of Darwin and MacOS X. 52 53 Nevertheless, tunnel support is known to work with Darwin 8 and 54 MacOS X 10.4 in Point-to-Point (Layer 3) and Ethernet (Layer 2) mode 55 using a third party driver. More information is available at: 56 http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~nissler/tuntap/ 57 58 59 Linux 60 ----- 61 62 Some Linux distributions (including Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS) include 63 headers and library links in the -devel RPMs rather than the main 64 binary RPMs. If you get an error about headers, or complaining about a 65 missing prerequisite then you may need to install the equivalent 66 development packages. On Redhat based distros these may be openssl-devel, 67 zlib-devel and pam-devel, on Debian based distros these may be 68 libssl-dev, libz-dev and libpam-dev. 69 70 71 Solaris 72 ------- 73 If you enable BSM auditing on Solaris, you need to update audit_event(4) 74 for praudit(1m) to give sensible output. The following line needs to be 75 added to /etc/security/audit_event: 76 77 32800:AUE_openssh:OpenSSH login:lo 78 79 The BSM audit event range available for third party TCB applications is 80 32768 - 65535. Event number 32800 has been choosen for AUE_openssh. 81 There is no official registry of 3rd party event numbers, so if this 82 number is already in use on your system, you may change it at build time 83 by configure'ing --with-cflags=-DAUE_openssh=32801 then rebuilding. 84 85 86 Platforms using PAM 87 ------------------- 88 As of OpenSSH 4.3p1, sshd will no longer check /etc/nologin itself when 89 PAM is enabled. To maintain existing behaviour, pam_nologin should be 90 added to sshd's session stack which will prevent users from starting shell 91 sessions. Alternatively, pam_nologin can be added to either the auth or 92 account stacks which will prevent authentication entirely, but will still 93 return the output from pam_nologin to the client. 94 95 96 $Id: README.platform,v 1.10 2009/08/28 23:14:48 dtucker Exp $ 97
