I realise many of you will not be happy with SSH2 licensing arrangements, but for those who need / want it (please note this isn't an ad., I'm just an ordinary punter): I dropped a line to the list concerning trying to build SSH 2.0.13 a while ago, and despite getting some kind help could not install it either from the source or the rpms. Others may have had similar problems. There is now a new release at www.ssh.com , numbered 2.2.0, and after downloading the tarball for this I was able to install it without difficulty using the recommended ./configure, make, make install. You do need to make sure you kill the 'old' sshd and manually start sshd2 before it will work. There is a script sshd2.startup in the tar archive, and if this is put into rc.d and the symlinks adjusted sshd2 will start automatically on boot. The ssh1 compatibility appears, on my limited testing, to work better than before, but you have to have had ssh1 set up on your computer previously for this to work. If you want to go from no ssh at all to a working ssh1 & 2, you need to download and install ssh1, then follow that by installing ssh2. There is also a 2.2.0 version of the windows client free for non-commercial use, and this seems to work quite nicely too. It includes a version of scp for windows, but I haven't played with that.
