[lug] ssh versions

[PC Drew]

if you do an ls -l in the directory ssh was installed (probably
/usr/local/bin), you'd probably see an ssh1 binary, an ssh2 binary,
and a softlink to ssh2 called ssh.  When you installed ssh2, it moved
the old ssh binaries to ssh1, and created a softlink that pointed to
the ssh2 binaries.

DS> I needed to install ssh2 on my machine, and downloaded what I found for
DS> ssh, partly via srpms, partly via binary rpm:
DS> ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/libc6/

DS> After the install, I expected to see ssh2, but saw ssh. Version
DS> indicated:
DS> # ssh -V
DS> SSH Version OpenSSH_2.1.1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
DS> Compiled with SSL (0x0090581f).

DS> I'm not sure if this is the wrong version or not. I see the 2.1.1 in
DS> there, yet it is named ssh for the client executable. Is ssh2 somewhere
DS> else?

DS> Thanks,
DS> D. Stimits, stimits at idcomm.com
