That would be the job of a package manager. I don't know if there is one commonly available on AIX. Because OpenSSH-portable uses automake you can do it pretty easily yourself too. The generated Makefiles have a make uninstall target, like the thousands other packages which use automake. The uninstall target might not remove every single file, especially not configuration files or files created by either server or client as they are being used. Also thanks to automake, you can do a dummy install into any destination directory on the system with make install DESTDIR=/some/path > Can this package be overwritten with a previous package, let's say > OpenSSH-6.9p1, or any previous version? Sure, you can install on top. There might still be some files left-over from the newer version which are not provided by the older version, one example would be host keys for algorithms only used by the newer version. They would not be overwritten and of course not deleted. The older version would also not use them. > The information contained in this e-mail transmission is confidential > and may be privileged. The bank should stop claiming that it transmits confidential email to open mailing lists known to be publically archived. It looks bad. //Peter _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
