Issue Patching Secure Shell...

I'm trying to patch an HPUX 11i v3 machine. The file I'm installing is "HP_UX_11i_v3_SecureShell_A.06.20.030._HP-UX_B.11.31_IA_PA.depot".

I get the following output in the log:

 * Reading source for product information.

To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.

First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags

```text
 and 
```

by hand.)

Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.

Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.

Thank You.

Hello chambo,

Welcome to forum, please use code tags as per forum rules for codes/commands/errors etc. http://www11.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en&docId=emr_na-c01743625-2

Starting with HP-UX Secure Shell A.05.10 and HP-UX 11.31, OpenSSL is a shared library and is not archived. Secure Shell on HP-UX 11.31 now depends on the System's OpenSSL Version installed, not the one it was linked with.

If I look at "new in this release" info
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T1471AA
OpenSSH 5.2 is now linked with OpenSSL A.00.09.8k instead of A.00.09.7m

What version of OpenSSL are you running?

ssh -V

EDIT: Also could you please post result for following command too.

openssl version

Thanks,
R. Singh

Hi, and thank you for the reply. This is my first post ever regarding HPUX so please forgive me for not following the proper format. I will make the requested changes but I want to get this response back asap. I'm a Redhat admin recently taking over responsibility for HPUX servers. So, while not new to sysadmin new to HPUX.

I ran ssh -V and got the following:

OpenSSH_5.2p1+sftpfilecontrol-v1.3-hpn13v5, OpenSSL 0.98ze 15 Jan 2015
HP-UX Secure Shell-A.05.20.015, HP-UX Secure Shell version

Thank you R. Singh for the help!!!

So, I still don't understand why OpenSSH won't install. I see from the log it's complaining about the creation of a key type: ecdsn. So, apparently it has an issue with that. I'd greatly appreciate some additional help.
