SSH2

[Burke, Thomas G.]

Certainly, I remeber it worked with ssh1...  I got my ssh2 from ssh.org (.com?)...  Maybe I'll go through my compile options & see if I can find it in the makefile.

         hosts.deny and hosts.allow are part of TCP wrappers. AFAIK, you 
have to build ssh with support for it, to use these files. 

         The ssh "attacks" are part of a "script-kit" or worm trying to 
break in through weak passwords and/or older ssh (v1). These attacks are 
filling up the logs that is for sure. :(
