I am trying to install ssh-3.0.1 on a linux system (SuSE 7.2, kernel
2.4) under a university license and am running into some difficulties.
I compiled (gcc) and installed the package from a downloaded tarball
with no fatal complaints.
The most significant one occurs after I launch sshd (-->sshd2) manually
(pending setup of launch-on-boot) in the background. (If I don't do
this in the background with /usr/local/sbin/sshd2 &) it sits in an
event loop without returning the system prompt.) Then, it can be
accessed only once from the outside, then the debugger says the event
loop is being closed. What can I change in sshd_config to keep the sshd
daemon alive? I tried "keep alive yes", but that did not work.
The second problem is that SuSE's startup script for ssh is tailored
for OpenSSH which they provide with their distribution. Does anyone
have a script I can plagiarize to replace this startup script
(..../rc3.d/S08sshd) with one for ssh-3.0.1? Likewise for the related
kill script? If not I suppose I can do surgery, but I'm not experienced
on editing startup and kill scripts (or any other kind of script for
that matter). Alternatively, I might try recompiling and installing
with --with-etcdir=PATH to match the path of the OpenSSH program.
