Continuing with this subject, will there be further OpenSSH updates from SuSE as there were from the other distros. I understand that OpenBSD, Debian and others release two more serious bug fixes today, but I haven't heard anything from SuSE yet.
Anyone got more news on this?
Well, according to what I've heard. The 3.7 release didn't fix the issue..the screwed it up. So instead of just saying " we f**ked up " and releasing a 3.7a version..they did 3.7.1. I would assume since SuSE has patched the 3.5p1 source themselves that since we do not have yet another build of 3.5 then SuSE got it right the first time. :)
I wouldn't not check for updates but unless it's announced that their patch didn't work. I would think SuSE's pkg is good. Number versions are sometimes a sticky situation with SuSE...as I mentioned above. It does take some getting use to.

Thanks Ben, those were my thoughts as well. Version numbers are just that, numbers and seldom reflects that state one's programs are in these days. I think I quit wondering about those about a year after I started using Linux. ;o) As I remember some of the SuSE guys mentioning they would not release the patch until tested, I'm sure SuSE will alert us to any other fixes that need to be done.
