Did you build it yourself, or download the binary? I downloaded the
binary from www.sunfreeware.com (I'm a lazy coot). It is installed
with "pkgadd".
If you built it yourself, you might have built something wrong. If
you downloaded the binary from someplace else, whoever built it might
have built it wrong.
If you built it yourself, and want to keep it like that, what version
of what C compiler did you use? You're probably best off with the
latest version of Gcc for most of the Open source products out there.
This can also be downloaded as a binary from SunFreeWare. Checking
their site, it does look as though 3.0.2p1 is available for Solaris
now. That might solve the problem.
Now, none of this will help you with MacOS, of course. But I have the
Solaris 8 and 5.6 also, and I have these products working perfectly.
If your problem is related to building it from the source code,
there's either something wrong with your source, or the way you build
it.
Other things that might affect it: make sure you've also installed
OpenSSL, zlib, and prng. I don't know what those packages provide
(except OpenSSL provides a crypto library), but OpenSSH definately
won't work without them. I don't imagine that's the problem, since
you wouldn't have been able to genererate the key the first time
without these, let alone change the pass-phrase. But it won't hurt to
check.
Hope this helps, and, Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
:-)
