I also got OpenSSH red flag (ID 22466) for Debian Etch, OpenSSH  
1:4.3p2-9. The systems have been clean until most recent scan (10/18).

We run many Debian Etch servers, and a lot of red flags.

Are they also false positives? I read some changelogs of Debian  
OpenSSH server package, looks at at least the 2005-5051 is fixed in  
1:4.3p2-4.
