Make sure when you run inutoc . that you are in the directory that has the installation files. possibley /backup/OPENSSH/openssh-5.1p1

there should be a .toc file present

My apologizes, i was working with blinders on... the openssh downloaded will need to be built before installation. take a look at the INSTALL file and it should provide you all the detail you need. Before installing ssh with this method, maybe someone can provide a link to an IBM source or rpm specifically for AIX. in the mean time i will see if i can find something. sorry for the confusion earlier.

When you unpack the tar file you will be able to run inutoc . and then use smit to install ssh.
