Re: [tbox-l] Unable to install Open SSH on a 5.2 64bit AIX system.

[Gregory Y. <gre...@uc...>]

I've found some notes and recollections from when I had this problem:

From an unknown source:
<<
/dev/random on AIX 5.2
AIX 5.2 has the entropy device /dev/random. However, the select() call 
does not work on this device with versions of bos.rte.security subsystem 
before 5.2.0.11. This will cause problems for packages such as OpenSSH and 
OpenSSL that require /dev/random on this platform
>>

Looking at my 5200-02 directory, it contains both 
bos.rte.security.5.2.0.10.U and bos.rte.security.5.2.0.13.U.  I had been 
getting the same message on a 5200-00 system.  It went away after applying 
ML4.  ML2 may be sufficient based on the above filesets and requirements 
for /dev/random and select().

Regards,
Gregory Young

Maybe off topic:
Use
http://www.zip.com.au/~dtucker/openssh/
instead of IBM Version (supports all IBM Features + TCP-Wrapper).
Works for my on AIX 5.2 ML04 64-Bit!
Cheers,
