They might take away my sysadmin card for this one... Turns out I was issuing the "make install" as myself, and ssh-signer2 needs to be setuid root to function properly. A quick chown and chmod and all is now right with the world. ----- Julie

SuSE comes with OpenSSH, and we use the version from SSH.org on everything else in the dept. We'd have to shift to publickey authentication for our automated connections (we have tons of rsync scripts that use ssh on lots of different systems and as lots of different users), which would be a significant effort. Getting the SSH.org version running properly is a much more desirable solution.

They do offer a pre-compiled version for SuSE. Seeing that the download version is for non-commercial evaluation only I would think you would go that way to avoid legal problems or put in the effort to use open-ssh.
