+ | ===== Installation and Removal of These Packages ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | These packages were not created with Tru64' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Instead we went with [[EPM|https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | EPM packages are simple, but loaded with features. One feature is that when you install an EPM portable package you'll end up with a link in / | ||
+ | |||
+ | Keep in mind that some packages (like OpenSSH) have dependencies. The EPM package manager supports dependencies but I'm afraid that not all the packages have a proper dep-tree. So, if something isn't working, go check it's dependencies on another system and try to satisfy those. That or do an **ldd** against the non-working binaries and see if you see any missing dynamic libraries. Those are probably dependencies either missed by the packager or some other issue. | ||

+ | ===== OpenSSH Updated for Tru64! ===== | ||
Best of all, we compile and package our own version of OpenSSH for Tru64 5.1 ! It works a LOT better than the DEC, Compaq, and HP versions which are very old SSH Communications versions of Secure Shell and have a lot of incompatibility problems now. If you choose to use OpenSSH 7.5p1, you can still use SSH version1, interact with OpenVMS systems, as well as communicate with modern SSH2 protocols and Linux machines. It's the best of all worlds at the moment for Tru64. | Best of all, we compile and package our own version of OpenSSH for Tru64 5.1 !
