| This file contains notes about OpenSSH on specific platforms. |
| |
| AIX |
| --- |
| As of OpenSSH 3.8p1, sshd will now honour an accounts password expiry |
| settings, where previously it did not. Because of this, it's possible for |
| sites that have used OpenSSH's sshd exclusively to have accounts which |
| have passwords expired longer than the inactive time (ie the "Weeks between |
| password EXPIRATION and LOCKOUT" setting in SMIT or the maxexpired |
| chuser attribute). |
| |
| Accounts in this state must have their passwords reset manually by the |
| administrator. As a precaution, it is recommended that the administrative |
| passwords be reset before upgrading from OpenSSH <3.8. |
| |
| As of OpenSSH 4.0, configure will attempt to detect if your version |
| and maintenance level of AIX has a working getaddrinfo, and will use it |
| if found. This will enable IPv6 support. If for some reason configure |
| gets it wrong, or if you want to build binaries to work on earlier MLs |
| than the build host then you can add "-DBROKEN_GETADDRINFO" to CFLAGS |
| to force the previous IPv4-only behaviour. |
| |
| IPv6 known to work: 5.1ML7 5.2ML2 5.2ML5 |
| IPv6 known broken: 4.3.3ML11 5.1ML4 |
| |
| Cygwin |
| ------ |
| To build on Cygwin, OpenSSH requires the following packages: |
| gcc, gcc-mingw-core, mingw-runtime, binutils, make, openssl, |
| openssl-devel, zlib, minres, minires-devel. |
| |
| |
| Solaris |
| ------- |
| Currently, sshd does not support BSM auditting. This can show up as errors |
| when editting cron entries via crontab. See. |
