You didn't READ the licensing. SSH 2.4 from SSH Communications is Free (of
charge) for any use when run under Linux or any of the BSDs.
SSH isn't, however, Free Software (as in liberty). OpenSSH is Free in every
sense of the word - www.openssh.com OpenSSH 2.5.0 was released Friday.
portable should be available soon.
Personally I feel Cobalt should have already started including OpenSSH
packages - most Linux distros already have since export regs have changed
and the RSA patent expired last Sept. Red Hat 7, for example, ships with
OpenSSH.
Cobalt/SUN? Hello?
