on my Debian machines when I enter openssl -V I see the zlib algorithm.
On Ubuntu I do not have zlib support for openssl, so the SSH also not support zlib.
Why is this?
I tried several thing to get zlib support on Ubuntu for SSH but I failed.
Can anyone helpo me?
King Regards

OpenSSH links dynamically to zlib. You can see this by running
ldd /usr/bin/sshand looking for the libz.so.1 reference. The fact that OpenSSL does not show zlib does not mean that OpenSSH cannot use zlib.
