openSSH on multiple servers

Hello gurus,

We have a large number of Solaris servers with most of the application data residing on netapps. I am trying to upgrade openSSH in our environment by mounting or application location on the netapp onto a trusted machine and trying to build from there.

[trusted machine]# mount netapp:location /mnt

[trusted machine]#cd /var/tmp/openssh-3.4.p1

Here i configure with the necessary options such as openssl and zlib and sysconfdir as /etc/ssh. Now all my binaries go perfectly into the netapp locations specified and my sysconf dir is created without any pblm and sshd starts up fine on the trusted server.

I know i am going wrong in the next step..

I am copying the /etc/ssh onto another server i want sshd to run on, and when i fire up sshd on this server using the netapp location, it complains ,

exec [rand] /mnt/xxxxxx/libexec/ssh-rand-helper not found.... (this is not the exact message but it is something similar..)

why is this server trying to find the mount point i specified on the trusted host? I changed the sshd_config to contain the correct location(netapp) yet i fail..

Is there a better way to install in a central location (using a trusted host) and updating all the servers i need ssh on without having to install on each and every server.

Thanks in advance and i will summarize.
