     It's a poor mechanic... [j/k]

     That's somewhat unfair since AIX 4.3.x ships with Perl, cc/libc,
     and man on the CDs.  Blame the VAR/consultant that set it up that
     way.  I've had pretty decent luck with Apache/OpenSSL and SSH on
     AIX, although I admit I'm running SSH-2.4.0 from ftp.ssh.fi as
     opposed to OpenSSH, and it is a little bit more AIX-friendly (no
     need for zlib, plus a Makefile with AIX in mind).
