Hi Paul, I invoked YAST and I do have an "online update" which says it is for "patches to correct & improve your existing installations". I think the YAST method is probably the best way to go.
Do I need to "rename" any particular file(s) (like sshd_config) before I download any updates so I can go back to my existing configuration in case I have some unexpected problem? I'm worried something might get modified that I'm not aware of...

If so, you can simply use YAST to bring down the latest and greatest of anything in the release. If not, support is pretty cheap - on the order of $5K per year, and it gives you upgrade rights. -Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Austin, Alyce (CIV)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 4:57 PM Subject: Re: OpenSSH Hi again, I had gone to the below site before I sent this note, but I didn't see anything referencing the mainframe Linux environment. Maybe, the lastest OpenSSH is already included in 8.2. (We will be upgrading our Linux in a few months to SLES10).

I doubt that anybody has the most current version already compiled into an RPM for SUSE 8.2.
