Greetings all,
I recently installed Debian 2.2 on my Sparc Station 5 machine. I have a 5GB harddisk and I want to use the box as a FTP & SSH server. I want Linux setup bare bones style--no X, just the command line--so I can save disk space. Install of the OS went just fine, and I used 'dselect' to install proftpd and nmap. However, I'm not sure what to do about SSH. I downloaded and burned the Debian .iso and OpenSSH does not appear to be on the CD. When I look for .deb packages on the Debian FTP sites, I can't find SSH packages for Sparc. So, I downloaded the OpenSSH tar ball thinking that should install no problem, but when I './configure', it bails out with an error saying something like "there is a problem with zlib. Fix it and try again"--no other info. When I run 'dselect' it shows zlib as already being installed. I don't know how to handle this because I'm not yet that familiar with Debian or 'dselect' (I'm coming from the Red Hat world). Any advice on how to get SSH setup?
Also, if I want the run the FTP service on a port other than 21 or the SSH service on a port other than 22, how can I do that? Do I simply edit the /etc/services file according to where I want services?
Lastly, when using VI on the Sparc, it acted real funny. When I hit 'i' to insert, the program kind of froze, and the screen would flash. I would have to save the file and reopen it numerous times in order to use VI. Anyone ever experienced something like this?
Thanks in advance to all who reply.
