Darren Tucker | 560c006 | 2016-08-17 13:38:30 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 4 | A C compiler. Any C89 or better compiler should work. Where supported, |

| 6 | options. Some notes about specific compilers: |

Damien Miller | ad01394 | 2014-08-26 09:27:28 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | You will need working installations of Zlib and libcrypto (LibreSSL / |
| 11 | OpenSSL) |

Darren Tucker | cd16ace | 2019-05-16 07:53:20 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | - LibreSSL (https://www.libressl.org/) |
| 18 | - OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org) with any of the following versions: |
| 19 | - 1.0.x >= 1.0.1 or 1.1.0 >= 1.1.0g or any 1.1.1 |
Damien Miller | b5f8927 | 1999-11-12 14:35:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 20 | |
Damien Miller | ad01394 | 2014-08-26 09:27:28 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | LibreSSL/OpenSSL should be compiled as a position-independent library |
| 22 | (i.e. with -fPIC) otherwise OpenSSH will not be able to link with it. |
| 23 | If you must use a non-position-independent libcrypto, then you may need |
Darren Tucker | 6ab75ab | 2018-10-28 15:16:31 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 24 | to configure OpenSSH --without-pie. Note that due to a bug in EVP_CipherInit |
| 25 | OpenSSL 1.1 versions prior to 1.1.0g can't be used. |

Damien Miller | a8e06ce | 2003-11-21 23:48:55 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | NB. If you operating system supports /dev/random, you should configure |
Damien Miller | ad01394 | 2014-08-26 09:27:28 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 30 | libcrypto (LibreSSL/OpenSSL) to use it. OpenSSH relies on libcrypto's |
Darren Tucker | cd16ace | 2019-05-16 07:53:20 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | direct support of /dev/random, or failing that, either prngd or egd. |

| 49 | |
Darren Tucker | 1a32953 | 2007-08-17 22:03:09 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 50 | OpenSSH can utilise Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) if your |
| 51 | system supports it. PAM is standard most Linux distributions, Solaris, |
| 52 | HP-UX 11, AIX >= 5.2, FreeBSD and NetBSD. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | Information about the various PAM implementations are available: |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Solaris PAM: http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/pam/ |

| 110 | -------------------------- |
| 111 | |
| 112 | To install OpenSSH with default options: |
| 113 | |
| 114 | ./configure |
| 115 | make |
| 116 | make install |
| 117 | |
| 118 | This will install the OpenSSH binaries in /usr/local/bin, configuration files |
| 119 | in /usr/local/etc, the server in /usr/local/sbin, etc. To specify a different |
| 120 | installation prefix, use the --prefix option to configure: |
| 121 | |
| 122 | ./configure --prefix=/opt |
| 123 | make |
| 124 | make install |
| 125 | |
Damien Miller | a8e06ce | 2003-11-21 23:48:55 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 126 | Will install OpenSSH in /opt/{bin,etc,lib,sbin}. You can also override |
Damien Miller | b5f8927 | 1999-11-12 14:35:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 127 | specific paths, for example: |
| 128 | |
| 129 | ./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh |
| 130 | make |
| 131 | make install |
| 132 | |
| 133 | This will install the binaries in /opt/{bin,lib,sbin}, but will place the |
| 134 | configuration files in /etc/ssh. |
| 135 | |
Darren Tucker | d9c8813 | 2005-04-19 12:21:21 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 136 | If you are using Privilege Separation (which is enabled by default) |
| 137 | then you will also need to create the user, group and directory used by |
| 138 | sshd for privilege separation. See README.privsep for details. |
| 139 | |
Kevin Steves | 32c97c3 | 2001-04-20 20:56:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 140 | If you are using PAM, you may need to manually install a PAM control |
| 141 | file as "/etc/pam.d/sshd" (or wherever your system prefers to keep |
| 142 | them). Note that the service name used to start PAM is __progname, |
| 143 | which is the basename of the path of your sshd (e.g., the service name |
| 144 | for /usr/sbin/osshd will be osshd). If you have renamed your sshd |
| 145 | executable, your PAM configuration may need to be modified. |
| 146 | |
| 147 | A generic PAM configuration is included as "contrib/sshd.pam.generic", |
| 148 | you may need to edit it before using it on your system. If you are |
| 149 | using a recent version of Red Hat Linux, the config file in |
| 150 | contrib/redhat/sshd.pam should be more useful. Failure to install a |
| 151 | valid PAM file may result in an inability to use password |
| 152 | authentication. On HP-UX 11 and Solaris, the standard /etc/pam.conf |
| 153 | configuration will work with sshd (sshd will match the other service |
Kevin Steves | df4a7ae | 2000-11-07 14:47:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 154 | name). |
Damien Miller | 755c90c | 1999-11-22 16:12:31 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 155 | |
Damien Miller | b5f8927 | 1999-11-12 14:35:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 156 | There are a few other options to the configure script: |
| 157 | |
Darren Tucker | 83bbb03 | 2006-09-17 22:55:52 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 158 | --with-audit=[module] enable additional auditing via the specified module. |
| 159 | Currently, drivers for "debug" (additional info via syslog) and "bsm" |
| 160 | (Sun's Basic Security Module) are supported. |
| 161 | |
Damien Miller | 5c3a558 | 2003-09-23 22:12:38 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 162 | --with-pam enables PAM support. If PAM support is compiled in, it must |
| 163 | also be enabled in sshd_config (refer to the UsePAM directive). |
Damien Miller | b5f8927 | 1999-11-12 14:35:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 164 | |
Damien Miller | a8e06ce | 2003-11-21 23:48:55 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 165 | --with-prngd-socket=/some/file allows you to enable EGD or PRNGD |

Damien Miller | a8e06ce | 2003-11-21 23:48:55 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 173 | --with-lastlog=FILE will specify the location of the lastlog file. |
Damien Miller | 8bdeee2 | 1999-12-30 15:50:54 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 174 | ./configure searches a few locations for lastlog, but may not find |
| 175 | it if lastlog is installed in a different place. |
| 176 | |
| 177 | --without-lastlog will disable lastlog support entirely. |
| 178 | |
Damien Miller | a8e06ce | 2003-11-21 23:48:55 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 179 | --with-osfsia, --without-osfsia will enable or disable OSF1's Security |

Damien Miller | c096727 | 1999-11-19 15:53:50 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 182 | --with-md5-passwords will enable the use of MD5 passwords. Enable this |
Darren Tucker | 0d37b5c | 2003-10-21 12:41:14 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 183 | if your operating system uses MD5 passwords and the system crypt() does |
| 184 | not support them directly (see the crypt(3/3c) man page). If enabled, the |
| 185 | resulting binary will support both MD5 and traditional crypt passwords. |

| 189 | |
| 190 | --without-shadow disables shadow password support. |

Damien Miller | a8e06ce | 2003-11-21 23:48:55 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 192 | --with-ipaddr-display forces the use of a numeric IP address in the |

| 194 | |
| 195 | --with-default-path=PATH allows you to specify a default $PATH for sessions |
