This file contains notes about OpenSSH on specific platforms. AIX --- As of OpenSSH 3.8p1, sshd will now honour an accounts password expiry settings, where previously it did not. Because of this, it's possible for sites that have used OpenSSH's sshd exclusively to have accounts which have passwords expired longer than the inactive time (ie the "Weeks between password EXPIRATION and LOCKOUT" setting in SMIT or the maxexpired chuser attribute). Accounts in this state must have their passwords reset manually by the administrator. As a precaution, it is recommended that the administrative passwords be reset before upgrading from OpenSSH <3.8. As of OpenSSH 4.0, configure will attempt to detect if your version and maintenance level of AIX has a working getaddrinfo, and will use it if found. This will enable IPv6 support. If for some reason configure gets it wrong, or if you want to build binaries to work on earlier MLs than the build host then you can add "-DBROKEN_GETADDRINFO" to CFLAGS to force the previous IPv4-only behaviour. IPv6 known to work: 5.1ML7 5.2ML2 5.2ML5 IPv6 known broken: 4.3.3ML11 5.1ML4 Cygwin ------ To build on Cygwin, OpenSSH requires the following packages: gcc, gcc-mingw-core, mingw-runtime, binutils, make, openssl, openssl-devel, zlib, minres, minires-devel. Solaris ------- Currently, sshd does not support BSM auditting. This can show up as errors when editting cron entries via crontab.
