    How to Install OpenSSH in Sun Solaris 10

    OpenSSH is a free opensource version of the SSH connectivity tools. OpenSSH encrypts all
    traffic (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and
    other attacks unlike Telnet,rlogin or ftp where the data is not encrypted and transmitted in plain
    text. Additionally, OpenSSH provides secure tunneling capabilities and several authentication
    methods, and supports all SSH protocol versions.
    Solaris 10 is by default installed with SSH server and the clients. However, if you have chosen to
    ignore SSH at the time of installation or have started the install with a minimal install then you
    may need to install OpenSSH manually.
    The easiest way to install OpenSSH in Sun Solaris is to use the pre-compiled packages from
    sunfreeware.
    The following are the packages that are required to be installed for OpenSSH to work properly in
    Solaris 10:
    OpenSSL (Latest stable: openssl-0.9.8f)
    ZLib (Latest stable: zlib-1.2.3)
    GNU Compiler Collection (gcc Latest stable: libgcc-3.4.6)
    TCPWrapper (Optional tcp_wrappers-7.6)
    and OpenSSH itself (Latest Stable: openssh-4.7p1)
    To start of, download the packages from the following sunfreeware.com links for sun solaris 10
    Sparc:
    gcc
    ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/10/libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.gz
    Zlib
    ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/10/zlib-1.2.3-sol10-sparc-local.gz
    OpenSSL
    ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/10/openssl-0.9.8f-sol10-sparc-local.gz
    OpenSSH
    ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/10/openssh-4.7p1-sol10-sparc-local.gz
    Once done, upload the files onto the server so we can start to unzip the files and install.
    Unzip and install gcc
    solaris10# gunzip libgcc-3.4.6-sol9-sparc-local.gz
    solaris10# pkgadd -d libgcc-3.4.6-sol9-sparc-local
    …
    …
    Installation of <SMCgcc> was successful.
    Unzip and install zlib
    solaris10# gunzip zlib-1.2.1-sol9-sparc-local.gz
    solaris10# pkgadd -d zlib-1.2.1-sol9-sparc-local
    …
    …
    Installation of <SMCzlib> was successful.
    Unzip and install OpenSSL
    solaris10# gunzip openssl-0.9.8f-sol9-sparc-local.gz
    solaris10# pkgadd -d openssl-0.9.8f-sol9-sparc-local
    …
    …
    Installation of <SMCossl> was successful.
    Unzip and install OpenSSH
    solaris10# gunzip openssh-4.7p1-sol9-sparc-local.gz
    solaris10# pkgadd -d openssh-4.7p1-sol9-sparc-local
    The packages are now installed.
    Create /var/empty directory
    solaris10# mkdir /var/empty
    Change directory ownership to Root user and sys group
    solaris10# chown root:sys /var/empty
    Change permissions
    solaris10# chmod 755 /var/empty
    Add sshd user & group
    solaris10# groupadd ssh
    solaris10# # useradd -g sshd -c ‘sshd privsep’ -d /var/empty -s /bin/false sshd
    Edit the default /usr/local/sshd_config file and make the following changes:
    Replace the line
    Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/sftp-server
    with
    Subsystem sftp /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server
    Generate Keys for the server
    solaris10# ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key -N “”
    solaris10# ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key -N “”
    solaris10# ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -N “”
    Enable OpenSSH server daemon sshd to run at the system startup
    Edit /lib/svc/method/sshd file and change the path for the SSH DIR, KEYGEN & the start
    daemon as follows:
    SSHDIR=/usr/local/etc/ssh
    KEYGEN=”/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -q”
    ‘start’)
    /usr/local/sbin/sshd
    That is it. All done and ready to go. Try connecting to the server using a ssh client like PUTTY.
