Enabling SSH on AIX and Solaris

| Hi Gurus,
I want to enable and disable SSH on AIX for my testing purpose. The
application which I would be testing is going to communicate with the Unix
server if SSH is enabled, if SSH is disabled then it would display error
message. Can anyone of you help me out in this?
Thanks in advance.
Amit

First, install and configure ssh on the AIX box.
To enable it, uncomment the corresponding line in /etc/inet.conf and
refresh the inetd subsystem (or send the inetd process a 'kill -1', which
amounts to the same).
To disable ssh, comment the line in /etc/inetd.conf and refresh inetd.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Actually, if you get IBM's SSH from their Linux Toolbox, then ssh runs
under SRC control, and you can start and stop it like any other AIX
service (stopsrc, startsrc, or refresh).
With Solaris 8, you have to acquire SSH from an outside source
(sunfreeware.com). Solaris 9 has it as part of the installation, though I
haven't had a chance to work with it yet.

/etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf
