Difference b/w OpenSSH and SSH?
Can anyone please tell me the difference between the two? Are they both the same program (remote login program)? Which is better?
Thanks guys |
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that OpenSSH is just a free version of the SSH protocol. Not sure what alternatives there are to OpenSSH but I think it's pretty much the standard for Linux distros. For more information, check out http://www.openssh.org/.
FYI: A security vulnerability was recently discovered in versions 2.3.1 to 3.3 so if you have one of those versions, I would update it. |
SSH is both a protocol and a specific product from SSH Communications Security. OpenSSH is the open source implementation of this protocol. Personally, I don't see any reason to buy a closed source product when the OpenSSH team has done so well.
