Install OpenSSH from source.

[hack3rcon]

Hello.
I installed "OpenSSH 7.9 P1" on Debian 8.6 x86_64 but when I tried "systemctl start sshd" then it show me below error:

Code: Select all

Failed to start sshd.service: Unit sshd.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

How can I solve it?

Thank you.

Try run ssh, not sshd.

Got same error.
When I run "/usr/local/sbin/sshd" then show me "Privilege separation user sshd does not exist". I compiled it and output is https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rdmZxmgWNK/

You used prefix /usr/local, I do not use systemd myself, you sure it can cope with it?

I don't know. I coped the source file to "/usr/local/src" and compiled it.

You must be joking.

Why?

How do you install it? I ask because your OpenSSH version is newer than it is in the official Debian 8 repository.

Oh dear. Do you mind looking at the title of this thread? And the posts made, along with pastebin link? Unfortunately, our OP does not know how to configure sources properly, leave alone building a deb package and installing from package.

[peter_irich]

Why from source? Install package: openssh-server.
Or, if really need from source, try build deb-package after compilation and install it by " dpkg -i ...".

I download the source code and did "./configure && make && make install".

Do the generated files include a systemd unit file?

You could steal one from the Debian package

/usr/lib/systemd/user/ssh-agent.service is the one you want.

EDIT: actually, that's a user .service so try

Code: Select all

systemctl --user enable ssh-agent

My system not have "ssh-agent.service" at "/usr/lib/systemd/user/".

[peter_irich]

Install openssh-client and you will be have ssh-agent.service.
I think you are going by the not right way. Install packages from repository and will not have a problems.

Why does it make life difficult for yourself? Just install it from official repository

Code: Select all

apt install openssh-server

Very well noticed.

Just don't show you your arrogance here. We all started learning before knowing anything about Linux. And this forum was created to help each other. Or maybe I'm wrong?
