the only way to get the real version is:
# ssh -V note that when you upgrade (if from *tar.gz) not necessarily the new version will sit in the proper (old) path. So, if the version information is not the one you are expecting for, just find it: # whereis ssh then query the complete path (say: /usr/local/sbin/ssh -V) instead of just 'ssh -V' BTW, in my machine it is the final portion, after the OpenSSH information (3.0.2p1) Evan D.
