[cobalt-users] SSH Confusion...

["Curtis Ross" <Curtis_Ross@xxxxxx>]

Hello All,

Sorry for the long note....
I want to install SSH on a RAQ4r. 
I don't want to use the one available from http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/

Virginia was kind enough to give me some RPM steps:
Telnet into your server as Admin, then su to root. Type the following
commands in order: 
wget
<ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/rpm/RH62/openssh-2.5
.2p2-1.i386.rpm> 
wget
<ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/rpm/RH62/openssh-ser
ver-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm> 
wget
<ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/rpm/RH62/openssh-cli
ents-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm> 
Next the installs: 
rpm -Uvh openssh-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm 
rpm -Uvh openssh-server-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm 
rpm -Uvh openssh-clients-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm 
finally type: 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start 
That should be it . Test it, make sure it works, and then disable telnet
in /etc/services.

The issues....
- Do I require the client package?
- Are these packages all I require?
- I get an error when I RPM the first one:
[root packages]# rpm -Uvh openssh-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies: rpm >= 3.0.5 is needed by openssh-2.5.2p2-1

So this tells me that I'm missing something? Is it an SSL upgrade?

I did find a note in the archives in regards to 'nodeps'

Is the answer to all my confusion?

Thanks!
