AFAIK ssh in Debian is openssh, so apt-get install ssh will install openssh (since that's the only version that complies with the DFSG). > Also, does any ssh version have the capability of "falling-back" to > rlogin compatibility?

You will be better off installing rsh&friends (the instalation cancels the symlink of rcp to scp, etc). cheers, fsm -- Frederico S.
