I recently did apt-get install ssh and it is an older version than I am using on my redhat boxes. How come debian isn't current on the new openssh packages. Debian --------- SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol version 1.5. Compiled with SSL. RedHat ---------- SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0p1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. Compiled with SSL (0x0090581f). Just a slight difference!!!!(major understatement)
