What type of errors (functional/etc) are you experiencing?
Are you running ssh as a daemon or through inet/xinet?
I believe I experienced a similar issue with respect to making sure that
sshd_config
was set up properly. Also, i had to read the README/INSTALL docs prior to
compiling.
The issue that i experienced had to do with PAM authentication and making
sure it was
compiled with that flag. Something like, --with-pam. You can research that.
There are
some words in the INSTALL/README that say that :
FROM INSTALL (in openssh make directory):
If you are using PAM, you may need to manually install a PAM control
file as "/etc/pam.d/sshd" (or wherever your system prefers to keep
them). Note that the service name used to start PAM is __progname,
which is the basename of the path of your sshd (e.g., the service name
for /usr/sbin/osshd will be osshd). If you have renamed your sshd
executable, your PAM configuration may need to be modified.
A generic PAM configuration is included as "contrib/sshd.pam.generic",
you may need to edit it before using it on your system. If you are
using a recent version of Red Hat Linux, the config file in
contrib/redhat/sshd.pam should be more useful. Failure to install a
valid PAM file may result in an inability to use password
authentication. On HP-UX 11 and Solaris, the standard /etc/pam.conf
configuration will work with sshd (sshd will match the other service
name).
Note the Red Hat Linux message. It did not work for me until i addressed
this....
Hope this helps...
