RE: [tbox-l] OpenSSL and OpenSSH availability

[Alex P. <AL...@Am...>]

David,

I appreciate your answer; however present situation is very cumbersome:

While open ssh depends on pre-installation of open ssl, the 2 packages
must be downloaded from two different locations and installed using
different methods.

Why it is impossible to distribute both tools in the framework of
Toolbox, while continuing to provide support just for the ssh, if IBM
chooses to do so?

It evolved that way.

Originally, both openssh was also a part of the Toolbox and was in RPM

format also.  Both openssh and openssl were provided under the "as-is"
terms

of the Toolbox.

For AIX 5.1 the AIX security team agreed to own and support OpenSSH.
So,

it came out of the Toolbox and was repackaged and rebuilt in the native

supported AIX installation format, installp.

You can contact IBM service for openssh issues, but not openssl issues.

The openssl image is provided as freeware.  Of course, openssh depends
on

openssl... which means if an openssh issue had an underlying issue
within

openssl it would still have to be treated as if it were an openssh issue

itself for that specific case.

In other words, they are owned, packaged, and shipped separately and
under

different terms.
