Can't find this in any FAQs. Hope I'm not asking a question you have all seen n^^n times already. I have installed zlib and openssl on machine A, then installed openssh as instructed. I have now made two tar files of the result. One includes only the ssh-related files (usr/local/bin, etc, sbin, man, libexec. The other also includes the zlib file in lib and the ssl directory. I have moved the smaller tar file to another machine, unpacked it, and I can connect with my SSH2 client. Is this all I need, or am I missing something by not transferring also the zlib and ssl files? In other words, are zlib and ssl only necessary during compilation of openssh or must they be on all hosts running ssh/sshd? TIA mvh/regards James
