Make sure you get the most recent version of ssh though (Like openssh
2.3.0 or later).  There was this nasty buffer overflow that leaves you
vunerable to a remote root exploit...  It worked in several different
implementations of ssh too.

    ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/

If you are running a RPM-based distribution (Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake,
Caldera, etc.) look in rpm/ for source and binary RPMs.  (Also check
with your distribution...  I think all of them include openssh now.)
