ssh install for redhat 7.3

28 May

i think they can make this just a little more complicated. only took 1-1/2 hours to find the documentation and install

When I upgraded my OpenSSH from the packages avaiable on www.redhat.com, I downloaded all the five packages from there, not just openssh-3.1p1-6.i386.rpm. And I installed them all at once, by
typing:

rpm -Uvh openssh*.rpm

now.. the fun part..,

if you try to run sshd for the daemon… NOT… you don’t have any keys.. duh.. after searching for hours.. here is what you need to do..

ssh-keygen -t rsa1
save to /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key

ssh-keygen -t rsa
save to /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key

ssh-keygen -t dsa
save to /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key

now run sshd yippee no fuss no muss.. blah…

gosh that was very cleary documented… well probably somewhere but i never found it.. makes windulls look very desireable…
