Dear all

I am in charge of a Sun-Fire-V440 running SunOs 5.8. I have the normal
ssh.com ssh server and client installed:
tjansson@seis:~$ ssh -h
ssh: SSH Secure Shell 3.2.9.1 (non-commercial version) on sparc-sun-
solaris2.8
Copyright (c) 1995-2002 SSH Communications Security Corp

However I am getting really annoyed with the problems sending files
through scp from a Linux server outside to my solaris machine:

tjansson@scharff:~>scp todo.txt seis
[email protected]'s password:
scp: warning: Executing scp1.
scp: FATAL: Executing ssh1 in compatibility mode failed (Check that
scp1 is in your PATH).
lost connection
Exit 1

So now I would like to install openssh instead. I am planing on using
the tutorial from sunfreeware:
http://www.sunfreeware.com/openssh8.html
But as mentioned in this tutorial openssh depends on libgcc-3.4.6 and
the server has libgcc-3.4.4 installed. This is a running system and I
do not wan't to break anything I will like to know wether or not these
libaries are backward compatible. Could I install libgcc-3.4.6 and not
havoc programs installed and compiled on this machine? Also if anybody
has recommendations or advise regarding openssh installtion on solaris
8 please fill me in.

Kind regards
Thomas Jansson
