updating system...


Hi,

I am running Red hat linux and my boss handed me a report showing that the version of openssh I am running is vulnerable and that I need to install at least version 3.7.1. I have run the Up2date program and says nothing about a newer version. Is there a command I can use to check the version number of that server? Thanks

run sshd -v (yes I know sshd doesn't take a -v argument). This will output the help message as well as the version.

Keep in mind that RedHat is kinda stupid in that they don't update the version numbers on updates like (I think) they should. When a security problem comes out it's often applied to the RH RPM and redistributed, but the version number never gets bumped.

HTH
