SSH comercial 2.4.0 Installation on Redhat 7.0

Note: RedHat 7.0 comes with openssh installed by default. It also works pretty well, so I would actually be thinking "why not use what came with the distro". I personally like the commercial ssh package better. Specifically the client for windoze. This is a commercial product and costs money if used for anything other than personal or educational use. There are two non commercial alternatives, OpenSSH, (ships with RedHat 7.0), and FreeSSH.

SSH Installation version 2.4.0 from source code.

Download http://www.ssh.com Filename: ssh-2.4.0.tar.tar
I don't know why it's called tar.tar, I think that was a fluke. It should be called tar.gz, but it works fine.

Untar the compressed file: # tar -zxvf filename goes here

Switch to root user and install from source code: After switching to the root user. change to the directory created when you untared the downloaded file. Hint, the directory is ssh-2.4.0. Now issue the following commands in order.
# ./configure
# make
# make install
# make clean

To set the ssh damon to run automatically at startup, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add the following line to the bottom of the file. /usr/local/sbin/sshd.

The executables are stored in /usr/local/sbin/. The configuration files are in /etc/ssh2. For configuration info view the man page for sshd # man sshd. To obtain windows clients see instructions at http://www.ssh.com on how to obtain free licensed copies of the ssh client for educational and non-commercial use.
