Being brave and bold (or more exactly needing a SSH on HP Trusted/UX
systems), I decided to try OpenSSH on them.
At first I did the (standard):
configure; gmake; gmake install
However, everytime it said that the password was wrong.
The problem reside in the fact that shadow.h does exist on HP-UX but
seem not detected by configure.
The normal non-Trusted, do have this file too, but according to the man
page it should only be used on Trusted/UX systems. My tests also seem to
indicate that this function return a NULL pointer on non-Trusted
systems.
Changing the
#define HAVE_SHADOW_H 1
in config.h and recompiling makes it work fine.
Due to my very limited knowledge of autoconf and requirement listed
above (Trusted vs non-Trusted) altough both systems do have the library
function (checking if result is NULL and keeping the value of "normal
passwd function" should be enough).
thanks!
