Hi guys,
Sorry for the basic question. Ive just restored my Octane2 and it runs IRIX 6.5 (04091957) and don't have SSH installed. Whats the best way to install it? 
Thanks,

[Raion]

I have dropbear ssh in optxeno (look in the thread here: https://forums.irixnet.org/thread-2497.html)

This is the newest and most up-to-date SSH client/server out there.

Thanks, I'¡ll check it out on my Octane2 and let you know if I have any problems

No worries. If you have questions or need help with it reply in that thread and I'll throw out examples.

Do you have any links how to installing the server side of Dropbear SSH on IRIX? I have the tar ball extracted in my /opt/xeno directory.

Thanks,

PD: Sorry posted before I read your last reply about the other thread,

It's installed if you have it there. Make sure /opt/xeno/sbin is in PATH and then you can generate a key for it. /opt/xeno/etc/dropbear should be the config directory. You need to make a key, and then you can start it by typing:

dropbear -r /path/to/key

There's not an init script yet. I haven't quite figured that out for IRIX as my NetBSD script for it didn't work. You can hack it into the /etc/init.d/network script or run it off inetd if you want but that's uncharted territory.
