Hi, this is on an aix v4.3 server. openssl and zlib installed fine, but i
get a zlib error??? I'm using the previous versions due to the aix 4.3
matchup. Thanks in advance for correcting this...

Actually it built but it won't run. It looks like you have a dynamic
zlib that's not in the standard library paths. You need to specify a
blibpath to include the directory where zlib lives.

This is described in README.platform:

If you wish to use dynamic libraries that aren't in the normal system
locations (eg IBM's OpenSSL and zlib packages) then you will need to
define the environment variable blibpath before running configure, eg

blibpath=/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib ./configure \
--with-ssl-dir=/opt/freeware --with-zlib=/opt/freeware

Also, 3.9p1 is quite old, you might want to use the current version (5.2p1).

Thank you very much. While with the addition of $BLIBPATH did not work with
v3.9p1, it DID WORK with v5.2p1. Is an sshd daemon supposed to be running?
Running ssh at the cl simply returns its' help.

You'll need to start it (ie run /usr/sbin/sshd as root). It won't
restart on boot unless you add it to a startup script (eg /etc/rc.tcpip).

Another option is to build a .bff package (contrib/aix/buildbff.sh) then
use smit to install it (the postinstall script creates a SRC service
"sshd" which it sticks into rc.tcpip and you can also start and stop manually
with startsrc and stopsrc.

A third option is to use s sysV style startup script if you version has
those.
