NO, SSH 2.4.0 is SSH from SSH Communications. It is a commerical release. OpenSSH
and SSH are two different products - two completely different implementations of SSH.
This last post helps to illustrate my point about properly naming these. It would
help to eliminate a lot of confusion.
SSH is not Free Software. READ the licensing! Yes, there is no charge if you run it
on Linux or any of the BSDs. However if you using it in a mixed environment (you have
non Linux/BSD machines) you could possibly be violating the license. The license is
very restrictive.
OpenSSH is Free Software (BSD style license). You can do whatever you want with it.
I really hope the packages get a name change. OpenSSH should be called openssh and
SSH from SSH Communications labeled as ssh. The current stable release of OpenSSH for
Linux is 2.5.1p1. You can get it at www.openssh.com
