"The mind of a Mad Tech!"

You can update your OpenSSH packages by having yum update them for you (assuming you have correct and updated repo’s for yum). This applies to Redhat / Fedora Core 4/5 / Centos.

To do so, simply SSH into your linux dedicated or virtual private server. Once logged in, type the the following;

#yum update openssh

This will update the openssh process, openssh-clients and openssh-server.

To verify what version of openssh you are running, you can type the following commend;

#ssh -V

Your server will then reply back with the version;

[root@XXXXXXX ~]# ssh -V
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006
