RSA CONFERENCE, SAN FRANCISCO - April 10, 2001
" SSH CONTINUES SECURE SHELL MOMENTUM WITH MAJOR LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR
COMPAQ TRU64 UNIX
RSA CONFERENCE, SAN FRANCISCO - April 10, 2001 - SSH Communications
Security (HEX:SSH1V), a world-leading developer of Internet security
technologies, today announced that Compaq Computer Corporation has
licensed SSH Secure Shell for integration with its Tru64 UNIX operating
system.
Under the terms of the agreement, Compaq will integrate SSHs Secure
Shell with its enterprise-leading server operating system, addressing
the privacy and authentication needs for corporate networks running UNIX
and communicating over IP networks. SSH Secure Shell will encrypt
terminal connections and file transfers, ultimately protecting UNIX
servers from hackers attempts to steal passwords and other confidential
data from the Internet. ", -

Hi,
First, I don't know that much about ssh, but I am assuming I could use
it in place of my ksh. I like the Korn shell its one of my favorites.
Are we talking about the same kind of shell? Hehehe, I think I'm
confused. Perhaps I could open up a secure shell with ssh and then from
inside of that shell, I could then run my beloved ksh. Yup, I am
confused. I better re-read chapter 8 in my Virtual Private Networks
book from O'Reilly again. They were saying that, "The Secure Shell
(SSH) is a replacement for insecure methods of accessing a remote Unix
host. It's meant to replace the common UNIX tools rsh, rcp, and rlogin,
and can also replace telnet in many cases." Hmmmm replace telnet, I
can use ksh over telnet so perhaps I can still keep my ksh after all.
Anyway what's the best way to get "ssh" working on Tru64 UNIX if you
don't want to wait for the official integration? Would this task be
easy, moderate, or difficult? I'm currently motivated for something
easy right now just in case you were wondering. You know something that
comes in a tar-ball which can be loaded using the setld Software subset
management utility. Now that would be easy.
I would like to familiarize myself with this ssh technology!
