One question: why don't you mention SuSE 6.3 here?
I'm not quite sure wether openssh was part of the original distribution (I'd have to dig out the CDs and check), but you certainly *did* provide openssh packages for 6.3 via the FTP server.
Yes, we did. openssh was not on the original distribution, and the packages we have provided were broken.
And since your support for 6.3 isn't discontinued until next monday ;-), you *should* provide an update for 6.3 as well...
We know. But is is a hassle to make openssh work flawlessly on a 6.3, this is why we better did not support openssh on 6.3 any more and removed the package.
(I guess one can simply use the 6.4 packages since the 6.3 update directory on ftp.suse.de is just a symlink to 6.4 - right?)
It's worth a try, yes. If not, please upgrade to a newer distribution, or use the ssh package (which works very fine on 6.3). Just make sure you have all updates installed.
