Sent this mail on Friday evening (my fault)..I did get some replies and thanks a lot for those. Would like to get some more opinions before i really experiment any thing on our production servers. Thanks guys..

 

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.
