Hi from where I can download the SSH Files (for the server and client) for SuSE 6.4 and for SuSE 7.x, and also... is there any vrs. doc between OpenSSH and Data Fellows SSH ?

You may find RPMs at a non-US mirror, like ftp.gwdg.de. It's OpenSSH 2.1.1 (not so sure about last digit), client and server both in one package. I've built RPM of OpenSSH 2.3.0 on SuSE 6.4, if you're interested.

I don't know what's different between OpenSSH and DataFellows SSH.

Hmm i reinstalled 6.4 last week, and clearly remember that i had a packedge confilct between ssh and open ssh. So it must be on the cd somewhere.

Not on a US cd (and I don't think there are two separate English versions?).

IIRC there is International (beyond the caribean) like Europe countries -- Togan Muftuoglu toganm@turk.net 100% MS FREE Absolutely no component of Microsoft was used in the generation or posting of this e-mail. So it is virus free

I have openssh 2.3 running on some machines and ssh 2.3 from ssh.com on others - there are certainly licensing differences between the two if nothing else, and although they are largely compatible they seem to bitch about each other a bit on odd occasions - sorry not to be more specific, but there haven't been any problems consistent enough to record. Or it could just be that I've not set either of them up particularly well. There has been a recent glut of security alerts for Openssh versions prior to 2.3, so it wouldn't seem wise to go in for an earlier version. See http://www.linuxsecurity.org for an article about this. I'm not trying to put anyone off Openssh, versions > 2.3 are said to be fine, and also it can be used freely in commercial environments, the other can't. When it comes to 'conflicts' between the two, I would have thought you'd need to decide which one you're going to use on a given machine and stick to it, as the command lines 'ssh [whateverhost]' and 'scp [whateverfiles]' are the same for each. If you want to be able to receive connections with an ssh server, you also need to have the sshd daemon running and listening, usu. on port 22 - I can't see how you could easily chop and change. Those who have the sad obligation to connect windows machines to *nix may want to know that ssh.com offer an excellent windows client, with an nice frontend to both ssh and scp. This requires getting a non-commercial license, but this is very easy - so long as you're not commercial. Ssh.com's 2.3 builds readily from .tar on SuSE 6.4, I did it and I know nothing whatever about compiling software, just blindly followed the readmes in the tarball with perfect results. Openssh 2.3 should build, but I haven't done it, the openssh machine I've got being Openbsd. Could I remind friends from the USA (in the nicest possible way) to keep pestering their government to change their bizarre crypto laws, as it is usually the rest of the world that feels cut off and offended when finding we can't do crypto for 'legal reasons' - this issue is nothing to do with SuSE and I'm sure they'd much rather only have one English disk set to produce, not two.
