Install OpenSSH from AIX CD
If you've just installed AIX from CD, there is no SSH / SSL. Getting and compiling one from the web proved to be challenging. Here's the steps to do so:
mount -V cdrfs -o ro /dev/cd0 /cdrw
cd /cdrw/installp/ppc
smit installp
Install Software
* INPUT device / directory for software [.]
* SOFTWARE to install (Press ESC+4 then select )
> openssh.base ALL
+ 6.0.0.6103 Open Secure Shell Commands
+ 6.0.0.6103 Open Secure Shell Server
> openssh.license ALL
+ 6.0.0.6103 Open Secure Shell License
