Newer ssh version

Oliver Schmitz — Mon, 23 Jun 2003 11:40:25 GMT

Hi,

I need a version of ssh-2 to connect to a new hpux 11.i server. With my SuSe linux 8.0 it will not work do to version reasons (ssh told me when I tried to connect/ Could this really be a problem?).

What is the newest linux ssh version and how can I get it.

Thanks, Oliver

Hi Oliver,
In my opinion the best thing to do is to download the latest source version on www.openssh.org and compile it on your own.
tar -xf
cd opensshdir..
./configure
make
make install

and play with it .. (ssh....)

Hello!

The newest version of ssh is 3.6.1
you can go to http://www.openssh.org/
The better thing for you is to get
the newest version from the site and
use it.

There is actually an new version of ssh posted on the sites provided above.

Resist the temptation to use that especially if this is a production machine. Bleeding edge makes sysadmin's nuts.

I'm attaching a document on ssh that will make ssh more useful.

Also on the HP-UX side, make sure they are using Secure Shell 3.50 which has much faster public key exchange.
