Ok tnx but I don't understand why they put 1.2.3 as the latest, and in security updates in the stable version.
They announced on Bugtraq that 1.2.3 fixes the recent key exchange bug but the openssh page says 2.3.0p1 does that.
Why do they go against the versioning of the original tree?
Is there some logical system behind this?
And how can I know that 1.2.3 fixes the bugs that were in pre 2.3.0p1?
tnx :)
