Open SSH v3.6.1p1

Hi All,

I'm trying to get Open SSH v3.6.1p1 to install on one of my AIX 5.1.003 boxes.

I'm following the IBM tutorial:Deploying OpenSSH on AIX http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/tutorials/aix_ssh/index.html

But of course using the most recent version of OpenSSL (0.9.7b) and OpenSSH (3.6.1p1) due to the security problems with prior versions. Also I'm using GCC v3.2.1 and PRNGD v0.9.27.

I've run into a snag when setting up the compiler for OpenSSH. I cannot get the compiler options to use the PRNGD (Pseudo Random Number Generator Daemon) instead of the OpenSSL internal for the "Random number source".

Here is my config line: "./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --with- prngd-socket=/dev/egd-pool -- with-pid-dir=/var/tmp"

I do have PRNGD running, so I'm not sure why it won't select it correctly.

Any ideas?

Do you need help?
