If you're a 'compile from source' sort of person, here's the steps I'd recommend: 0) dowload the tarballs 1) re-enable admin telnet (cross your fingers) maybe use tcpwrappers to only accept 23 from your address. details left up to reader... 2) sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/stop 3) mv /usr/sbin/sshd /usr/sbin/sshd.GOOD 4) ./configure && make && make test 5) if everything looks kosher, make install 6) ./ssh -v localhost (just to test the installation, via loopback) 7) test the external interface as well by starting a new client from your client machine 8) cleanup. rm /usr/sbin/sshd.GOOD and turn off admin telnet 9) Say prayer of thanks to diety of choice. =) tim -- Mechanical Engineers build weapons.
