Installing OpenSSH on Solaris 8

I know, I know, what's Solaris 8 and why not Solaris 10. I've been tasked to familiarize myself with the internal workings of Sun's Solaris operating system.

OpenSSH is an open source version of the SSH or the Secured SHell System. Since I'm going to take the easiest way to install OpenSSH on the Ultra 10 which I have just acquired. I would have to resort to using the binary packages made available on sunfreeware.

The following are the list of steps which I have taken to install OpenSSH (openssh-5.1p1) made available on sunfreeware., before I even began preparing for the installation, it has been mentioned that OpenSSH has the following dependencies:
  • zlib-1.2.3
  • libgcc-3.4.6 or gcc-3.4.6
  • libiconv-1.11
  • libintl-3.4.0
  • openssl-0.9.8j
