openssh unix dev - Oct 2003 - Hep for creating a package

Hi,

   I created a package for OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 in UNIX (OS: Sun Solaris), the
   newly created package includes binaries,man pages, libraries and
   Configuration files. I am planning to install this package in all of
   my Sun server's (Approximately 200 Server's).
   We have SSH/OpenSSH older version are already installed and running in
   all of the sun boxes. I want to install the OpenSSH 3.7.1p2  without
   deleting the old SSH/OpenSSH packages.
   The installed version of SSH/OpenSSH are in different direcotries like
    /usr/local/bin
    /usr/local/sbin
    /usr/local/libexec
    /usr/local/man
    /usr/local/etc
   Is there anyway i can make package replacing the binaries, man pages
   and also it has to check in the /usr/local/etc directory while doing
   the pacakage add (pkgadd), if the configuration files and key files
   exists in /usr/local/etc directory it shouldn't replace the files.
   Only it should copy the files if there is any files missing in
   /usr/local/etc directory while doing pkgadd.
   After doing the pkgadd i want append few things to my configuration
   files if the information  doesn't exists (sshd_config)
   For ex:
   UserPrivilegeSeperation NO
   RhostAuthetication no

   Also i want to check for this file  /.ssh/id_rsa.pub file, if this
   file exists then append /.ssh/id_rsa.pub to authorizationkeys

   Could you pls help me for creating the package(pkgmk/pkgadd) which
   will satisfy the above conditions.

   If  you need any information pls let me know.

   Thanks,
   Srinivas

You can do any customization you want by building

Have a look at contrib/solaris/buildpkg.sh in your OpenSSH source
directory, it does much of what you describe.

Apart from that, you have a Solaris packaging question not an OpenSSH
question.  I suggest you check out some Solaris resources.  I'd start with
www.sunhelp.org and www.sunfreeware.com/pkgadd.html.
