I increased the points for you.

dump -H /usr/bin/ssh-keygen

/usr/bin/ssh-keygen:

Actually this file doesn't exist in the system? do you know what is the Lib freeware for this file?

ls -la /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a
ls: 0653-341 The file /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a does not exist.

find / -name "libcrypto.a" -print (Returned nothing?)

I went to this web site but I wasn't sure which one has this file?

I'm pretty sure that libcrypto is a library of OpenSSL and I know that OpenSSL is a prerequisite for OpenSSH. Either have the person who installed OpenSSH also install OpenSSL from the same resource or go to http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/aixtbx/aixtbx-p (you've got to sign in - it's free to create an account) and get the OpenSSL libraries appropriate for you system and install them.

aixpdslib is last place to get software for AIX.

get everyhing from one place - bullfreeware, or affinity toolkit.

basically you now are having problems with ssh needing openssl. with other two packaging sets that would cause no problems at all.

It's not clear whether the author has a pathing problem or whether they didn't satisfy prerequisites for the installation of the OpenSSH software but it's one of those two that is the resolution to their problem. Without clarification from the author we cannot take it any further

All three answers contribute to solution but asker went missing, and without further input (what exact SSH package he/she uses) there is no definite step-by-step answer available.

Thanks again guys.
