ssh for AIX

Hi,

Looking for an ssh installation for AIX 5.3, I got into the page:
[url]http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/articles/openssh_aix.html[/url]

from there, following the link labelled
'You can also get the installation images from OpenSSH on AIX.':
[url]https://sourceforge.net/projects/openssh-aix/[/url]

I ended up downloading and uncompressing an archive containing:

/tmp> tar ft openssh-4.3p2-r2.tar
openssh.base
openssh.license
openssh.man.en_US
openssh.msg.CA_ES
openssh.msg.CS_CZ
....
openssh.msg.zh_TW

I missed instructions concerning what to do with this.
Anybody has found them?

Marc

Did you do an "inutoc" to create the .toc and
then a "smitty installp" pointing to this directory for installation?

No, I had not, as I didn't know I had to.
So thanks.
With the help of the man pages, I did now:

/tmp> mkdir openssh
/tmp> cd openssh
openssh> tar xf ../openssh-4.3p2-r2.tar
openssh> cd ..
/tmp> sudo inutoc openssh
/tmp> sudo installp -acY -d openssh all
....

Now, this told me:
....
A prerequisite package has not been installed. Open SSH

requires the latest openssl-0.9.7g-1 version of Open SSL (Secure
Sockets Layer). Please install

Open SSL from the AIX Toolbox for Linux CD or Toolbox website:
....

after which it exited and cleaned up.
I looked at the url found in the error:

[url]http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/aixtbx/aixtbx-i?S_PKG=dlaixww&S_TACT=&S_CMP=[/url]

and from there, at the openssl packages, e.g.
openssl-0.9.7l-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

Is this it? For 5.3? I try...

Thanks,
Marc
