This section gives you basic information on how to install the Secure Shell distribution from SSH Communications Security. Click here for the contents of this section.
The latest version of SSH1 is 1.2.27, and SSH2 is 2.0.13. If you are not using the latest version, you may run into problems.
The latest version of lsh is 0.1.3, and be aware that lsh is still in testing mode and is not ready for prime-time yet.
To install SSH, download the tar files and place in a temporary directory. Then do the following:
# gzip -dc ssh-2.0.13.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
# cd ssh-2.0.13
# ./configure
# make
# make install
Please read the INSTALL file for more specifc instructions.
If you run into any problems, check out the troubleshooting section before sending it to the SSH mailing list.
Note:
You may have to use specific options with configure to get SSH to work the way you want (with certain ciphers, using TCP Wrappers, socks support, etc.).If you run the server, sshd, as a user other than root then you can only login as that user.
If you install the client, ssh, non setuid root you will still be able to connect and login to remote servers, but you will not be able to use the .rhosts form of user authentication.
You can also start up sshd yourself as non-root, supplying the -p option so it binds to a non-privileged port (1024), and then connect from another system with ssh -p. This will only allow connections to your own account, and sshd will, as a rule, not be restarted when your machine reboots.
You will have to decide whether this is useful for you or not.
