Installing with pkgadd

On the installation CD-ROM, SSH Secure Shell is located in the directory /install/solaris/. Please read the README file for any important last-minute information.

To install SSH Secure Shell, perform the following tasks:

1. Copy the installation package to your machine.
2. Unpack the distribution binary to some suitable location (the standard directory for this is /var/spool/pkg):

   $ gzip -dc package | tar xvf -
   

   where package is the name of the installation package.
3. Change to the directory where the source was unpacked.
4. Install the package as root with the pkgadd tool:

   # pkgadd -d .
   

5. Start the Secure Shell daemon as root, by using the command:

   # /etc/init.d/sshd2 start
   

   or

   # /InstDir/sbin/sshd2
   

   where InstDir is the chosen installation directory (by default, /usr/local).
