Firstly, 3.0 has at least one known remotely exploitable security
vulnerability. You should probably get 3.4p1. (eg
ftp://ftp.ca.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-3.4p1.tar.gz)

My guess is that zlib is installed someplace where configure doesn't
automatically look. Try ./configure --with-zlib=/opt/zlib (or wherever
your package put the libz.a file).

Dunno, but you won't be able to build without openssl. You can get it
from a mirror (eg
ftp://ftp.ca.openbsd.org/pub/Mirror/Crypto/OpenSSL/openssl-0.9.6g.tar.gz).

Keven Steves has put up a how-to for building OpenSSH on HP-UX. It's at

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
