![]() ![]() It's bad when you have two of the same thing (old sshd in /usr, new sshd in /usr/local, very easy to accidentally start the wrong one) – and it's even worse if you copy the new sshd binary on top of the new one, and then sometime later it goes poof because another admin just installed a "critical openssh 8.0 security update" RPM on top.ĭo it properly by building a RPM of the new version, which correctly indicates the version it is, and allows the package manager to keep track of which files belong to it. (After all, that's literally what happens when you install RPMs in the first place – the binary is built once by RHEL, then installed everywhere.)īut as a sysadmin, it's a bit of a management nightmare when the package manager says X, but the system actually has Y. ![]() Technically, yes, you can always simply copy binaries freely between systems that have the necessary libraries present. ![]()
