Damien Miller | b5f8927 | 1999-11-12 14:35:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | OpenSSH can utilise Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) if your system |
| 15 | supports it. PAM is standard on Redhat and Debian Linux and on Solaris. |

| 43 | 2. Building / Installation |
| 44 | -------------------------- |
| 45 | |
| 46 | To install OpenSSH with default options: |
| 47 | |
| 48 | ./configure |
| 49 | make |
| 50 | make install |
| 51 | |
| 52 | This will install the OpenSSH binaries in /usr/local/bin, configuration files |
| 53 | in /usr/local/etc, the server in /usr/local/sbin, etc. To specify a different |
| 54 | installation prefix, use the --prefix option to configure: |
| 55 | |
| 56 | ./configure --prefix=/opt |
| 57 | make |
| 58 | make install |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Will install OpenSSH in /opt/{bin,etc,lib,sbin}. You can also override |
| 61 | specific paths, for example: |
| 62 | |
| 63 | ./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh |
| 64 | make |
| 65 | make install |
| 66 | |
| 67 | This will install the binaries in /opt/{bin,lib,sbin}, but will place the |
| 68 | configuration files in /etc/ssh. |
| 69 | |
Damien Miller | fd26368 | 2000-03-16 11:51:09 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 70 | If you are using PAM, you will need to manually install a PAM |
| 71 | control file as "/etc/pam.d/sshd" (or wherever your system |
| 72 | prefers to keep them). A generic PAM configuration is included as |
| 73 | "contrib/sshd.pam.generic", you may need to edit it before using it on |
| 74 | your system. If you are using a recent version of Redhat Linux, the |
| 75 | config file in contrib/redhat/sshd.pam should be more useful. |
Damien Miller | 755c90c | 1999-11-22 16:12:31 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 76 | |
Damien Miller | b5f8927 | 1999-11-12 14:35:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 77 | There are a few other options to the configure script: |
| 78 | |
Damien Miller | 8bdeee2 | 1999-12-30 15:50:54 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 79 | --with-rsh=PATH allows you to specify the path to your rsh program. |
| 80 | Normally ./configure will search the current $PATH for 'rsh'. You |
| 81 | may need to specify this option if rsh is not in your path or has a |
| 82 | different name. |
| 83 | |
| 84 | --without-pam will disable PAM support. PAM is automatically detected |
| 85 | and switched on if found. |
| 86 | |
Damien Miller | c096727 | 1999-11-19 15:53:50 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 87 | --enable-gnome-askpass will build the GNOME passphrase dialog. You |
| 88 | need a working installation of GNOME, including the development |
| 89 | headers, for this to work. |
Damien Miller | b5f8927 | 1999-11-12 14:35:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 90 | |
Damien Miller | c096727 | 1999-11-19 15:53:50 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 91 | --with-random=/some/file allows you to specify an alternate source of |
Damien Miller | 615f939 | 2000-05-17 22:53:33 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 92 | random numbers (the default is /dev/urandom). Unless you are absolutely |
Damien Miller | b5f8927 | 1999-11-12 14:35:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 93 | sure of what you are doing, it is best to leave this alone. |
| 94 | |
Damien Miller | c096727 | 1999-11-19 15:53:50 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 95 | --with-egd-pool=/some/file allows you to enable Entropy Gathering |
Damien Miller | 54057c2 | 2000-05-09 15:03:37 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 96 | Daemon support and to specify a EGD pool socket. Use this if your |
| 97 | Unix lacks /dev/random and you don't want to use OpenSSH's builtin |
| 98 | entropy collection support. |
Damien Miller | b5f8927 | 1999-11-12 14:35:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 99 | |
Damien Miller | 8bdeee2 | 1999-12-30 15:50:54 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 100 | --with-lastlog=FILE will specify the location of the lastlog file. |
| 101 | ./configure searches a few locations for lastlog, but may not find |
| 102 | it if lastlog is installed in a different place. |
| 103 | |
| 104 | --without-lastlog will disable lastlog support entirely. |
| 105 | |
Damien Miller | 105b7f0 | 2000-01-07 08:45:55 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 106 | --with-kerberos4=PATH will enable Kerberos IV support. You will need |
| 107 | to have the Kerberos libraries and header files installed for this |
| 108 | to work. Use the optional PATH argument to specify the root of your |
| 109 | Kerberos installation. |
Damien Miller | c096727 | 1999-11-19 15:53:50 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 110 | |
Damien Miller | 105b7f0 | 2000-01-07 08:45:55 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 111 | --with-afs=PATH will enable AFS support. You will need to have the |
| 112 | Kerberos IV and the AFS libraries and header files installed for this |
| 113 | to work. Use the optional PATH argument to specify the root of your |
| 114 | AFS installation. AFS requires Kerberos support to be enabled. |
Damien Miller | c096727 | 1999-11-19 15:53:50 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 115 | |
| 116 | --with-skey will enable S/Key one time password support. You will need |
| 117 | the S/Key libraries and header files installed for this to work. |
| 118 | |
| 119 | --with-tcp-wrappers will enable TCP Wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow|deny) |
| 120 | support. You will need libwrap.a and tcpd.h installed. |
| 121 | |
| 122 | --with-md5-passwords will enable the use of MD5 passwords. Enable this |
| 123 | if your operating system uses MD5 passwords without using PAM. |
Damien Miller | 3d1b22c | 1999-11-12 15:46:08 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 124 | |
Damien Miller | 8bdeee2 | 1999-12-30 15:50:54 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 125 | --with-utmpx enables utmpx support. utmpx support is automatic for |
| 126 | some platforms. |
| 127 | |
| 128 | --without-shadow disables shadow password support. |
| 129 | |
| 130 | --with-ipaddr-display forces the use of a numeric IP address in the |
| 131 | $DISPLAY environment variable. Some broken systems need this. |
| 132 | |
| 133 | --with-default-path=PATH allows you to specify a default $PATH for sessions |
Damien Miller | 29ea30d | 2000-03-17 10:54:15 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 134 | started by sshd. This replaces the standard path entirely. |
Damien Miller | 8bdeee2 | 1999-12-30 15:50:54 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 135 | |
Damien Miller | 5eed6a2 | 2000-01-16 12:05:18 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 136 | --with-pid-dir=PATH specifies the directory in which the ssh.pid file is |
| 137 | created. |
| 138 | |
| 139 | --with-xauth=PATH specifies the location of the xauth binary |
| 140 | |
Damien Miller | 7d80e34 | 2000-01-19 14:36:49 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 141 | --with-ipv4-default instructs OpenSSH to use IPv4 by default for new |
| 142 | connections. Normally OpenSSH will try attempt to lookup both IPv6 and |
| 143 | IPv4 addresses. On Linux/glibc-2.1.2 this causes long delays in name |
| 144 | resolution. If this option is specified, you can still attempt to |
| 145 | connect to IPv6 addresses using the command line option '-6'. |
| 146 | |
Damien Miller | 0c0e4bf | 2000-02-03 13:58:51 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 147 | --with-ssl-dir=DIR allows you to specify where your OpenSSL libraries |
| 148 | are installed. |
| 149 | |
Damien Miller | fd26368 | 2000-03-16 11:51:09 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 150 | --with-4in6 Check for IPv4 in IPv6 mapped addresses and convert them to |
| 151 | real (AF_INET) IPv4 addresses. Works around some quirks on Linux. |
| 152 | |
Damien Miller | beb4ba5 | 1999-12-28 15:09:35 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 153 | If you need to pass special options to the compiler or linker, you |
Damien Miller | 615f939 | 2000-05-17 22:53:33 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 154 | can specify these as environment variables before running ./configure. |
Damien Miller | beb4ba5 | 1999-12-28 15:09:35 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 155 | For example: |
| 156 | |
Damien Miller | fd26368 | 2000-03-16 11:51:09 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 157 | CFLAGS="-O -m486" LFLAGS="-s" LIBS="-lrubbish" LD="/usr/foo/ld" ./configure |
Damien Miller | b5f8927 | 1999-11-12 14:35:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 158 | |
| 159 | 3. Configuration |
| 160 | ---------------- |
| 161 | |
| 162 | The runtime configuration files are installed by in ${prefix}/etc or |
| 163 | whatever you specified as your --sysconfdir (/usr/local/etc by default). |
| 164 | |
| 165 | The default configuration should be instantly usable, though you should |
| 166 | review it to ensure that it matches your security requirements. |
| 167 | |
Damien Miller | 4095f89 | 2000-03-03 22:13:52 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 168 | To generate a host key, run "make host-key". Alternately you can do so |
| 169 | manually using the following command: |
Damien Miller | 2a9d9f6 | 1999-11-15 23:34:11 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 170 | |
| 171 | /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N '' |
| 172 | |
Damien Miller | 6ae00d6 | 1999-12-14 15:43:03 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 173 | Replacing /etc/ssh with the correct path to the configuration directory. |
| 174 | (${prefix}/etc or whatever you specified with --sysconfdir during |
| 175 | configuration) |
| 176 | |
Damien Miller | ab8a4da | 1999-12-16 13:05:30 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 177 | If you have configured OpenSSH with EGD support, ensure that EGD is |
| 178 | running and has collected some Entropy. |
| 179 | |
Damien Miller | b5f8927 | 1999-11-12 14:35:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 180 | For more information on configuration, please refer to the manual pages |
| 181 | for sshd, ssh and ssh-agent. |
