openssh for rh 6.2

[elovkoff]

Maybe it's just a bad day....I want to be able to ssh to rh 6.2 box, si I went to rpmfind.net to look for openssh rpms, and couldn't find any.....
Is there any way to use ssh with 6.2?

hello,
i know i did use ssh with rh6.2 - but can't remember what package i used...

Thats because 6.2 didn't ship with openssh.. So either get the openssh for 7.0
(ftp://sunsite.uio.no/linux/RedHat/up....1p1-1.src.rpm) and rebuild it with the 6.2 rpm version (rpm --rebuild) then install it from /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386, or get the tar.gz from http://www.openssh.org and install that.

The first solution requires, that your rpm version can handle rpm packages build for the rpm version shipped with 7.0

Remember you need openssl (ftp://sunsite.uio.no/linux/RedHat/up....9.6-9.src.rpm) installed in order to get openssh working.

I remember using ssh from http://www.ssh.com when I had RedHat 6.2 installed..
An odd mix, where it was crutial to have installed ssh-1 befor ssh-2 if you wanted both versions supported..
