[OpenIndiana-discuss] ssh to servers with recent openssh

[russell]

Hi,

I had a similar problem with the ssh provided with OI but I fixed this 
by downloading building my own OpenSSH.
I created a OpenIndiana Feature see https://www.illumos.org/issues/6820  
and received an update that OpenSSH should be available in the 
repository soon.

If you look a quicker solution at the issue it details how to build 
OpenSSH, once build I created symbolic links to from the /usr/bin to 
/opt/gnu/bin
eg

# cd /usr/bin
# ln -s /opt/gnu/bin/ssh
# ln -s /opt/gnu/bin/sftp
# ln -s /opt/gnu/bin/scp
# ln -s /opt/gnu/bin/ssh-add
# ln -s /opt/gnu/bin/ssh-agent
# ln -s /opt/gnu/bin/ssh-keygen
# ln -s /opt/gnu/bin/ssh-keyscan

Regards

Russell
