Upgrade OpenSSH to 9.0 on CentOS
#

Install the software packages required for compilation:

yum install -y wget gcc pam-devel libselinux-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel/Users/kiga/WorkSpace/backend/README.md

download openssh install pakage

cd /usr/local/src
wget -O openssh.tar.gz https://mirrors.aliyun.com/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-9.0p1.tar.gz

Backup configuration files. Generally, when uninstalling, the configuration files will be saved as sshd_config.rpmsave. However, the /etc/pam.d/sshd configuration file is not saved separately, so it is recommended to backup all

cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config sshd_config.backup
cp /etc/pam.d/sshd sshd.backup

Remove the lower version OpenSSH rpm package, not necessary

rpm -e --nodeps `rpm -qa | grep openssh`

Install openssh
#

decompress

tar -zxvf openssh.tar.gz
cd openssh-9.0p1

configure

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --with-md5-passwords --with-pam --with-zlib --with-tcp-wrappers --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl --without-hardening

make && make install

permissions
#

adjust file permissions

chmod 600 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key

copy configuration files

cp -a contrib/redhat/sshd.init /etc/init.d/sshd
chmod u+x /etc/init.d/sshd

restore configuration files

mv ../sshd.backup /etc/pam.d/sshd
mv ../sshd_config.backup /etc/ssh/sshd_config

add the ssh service to the start up items for automatics startup
