Am trying to convince my client to use OpenSSH but the support question came up.
Will IBM provide support for OpenSSH on AIX?

Where can I find more information?

I recommend going here for more information on OpenSSH and AIX
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/systems/articles/openssh_aix.html
It's a quite good version we use it since years and it's getting better and better. Now OpenSSH works nicely together wit AIX's account system. (Older versions ignored sometimes restrictions set within the operating system). The sourceforge build is the best build I've seen so far and is well maintained. I don't know if IBM sponsors this thing afaik the only support for this Version is delivered by sourceforge bug tracking mechanisms. Its not easy to see what happens behind IBM walls...

Cheers frenger

As far as I know IBM's AIX support (in the UK) will fully support the latest available version of Open SSH and Open SSL for AIX from the IBM or the sourceforge website as if they were native AIX code.
If you have any doubt contact your local IBM AIX support and ask what they support.
