Installing SSH on AIX

  1. Download the openssh and prerequisite openssl packages from their respective websites.
  2. Transfer the installation files to a temporary directory on the AIX server
  3. Unpack and install:
#uncompress openssl.0.9.8.1100.tar.Z
#tar xf openssl.0.9.8.1100.tar
inutoc .
#geninstall -Y -d . openssl
#uncompress openssh-4.7_5301aix61.tar.Z
#tar xf openssh-4.7_5301aix61.tar
inutoc .
#geninstall -Y -d . openssh

Once you have installed ssh, you may disable telnet by commenting it out of /etc/inetd.conf and stopping the service:

#perl -p -i -e 's/^telnet/#telnet/g' /etc/inetd.conf
#refresh -s inetd
