You shouldn't have to recompile SSH unless the platform is different
(Solaris x86 and SPARC, Linux and HP/UX, etc.)
I put ssh and related files in a directory on a main server which is then
exported as /usr/local on all other hosts (this sounds like what you do
too). I then have to go to each machine I want running SSH and do a
simple little install -- you can either do "make host-install" from the
SSH source directory, or I just use a simple little script:
#!/bin/sh
umask 022
if test '!' -f /etc/ssh_host_key; then \
umask 022; echo "Generating 1024 bit host key."; \
/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh_host_key -N ''; \
fi
if test '!' -f /etc/ssh_config; then \
/usr/local/bin/install -c -m 644 -m 0644 ./host_config.sample \
/etc/ssh_config; fi
if test '!' -f /etc/sshd_config; then \
/usr/local/bin/install -c -m 644 -m 0644 ./server_config.sample \
/etc/sshd_config; fi
if test '!' -f /etc/init.d/sshd; then \
cp ./sshd /etc/init.d; \
rm -f /etc/rc2.d/S96sshd; \
ln -s /etc/init.d/sshd /etc/rc2.d/S96sshd; \
fi
if test '!' -d /.ssh; then \
mkdir -m 755 /.ssh; \
fi
rm -f /.ssh/authorized_keys
/usr/local/bin/install -c -m 644 -m 0644 ./authorized_keys \
/.ssh/authorized_keys
Which is basically a "make host-install", but also adds in the
authorized_keys file for root access, and copies the init and config files
from the current directory.
