Hello, You could try running strings on the binaries for some more indications, but in general there's no easy way. Also, if you could dump the database schema it could narrow it down some, too, but if you don't have root access, you likely don't have direct database access either. Also look at the timestamp when the binaries were installed, and it's probably pretty close. Other than that, if you really need to know, and can't just ask the system administrator :), you could try looking up what bugs got fixed in various releases, and test their behavior in your system. I'd only go that far if you really, *really* needed to know.
