Solaris

I have requirement to support sun ssh3 for my project.

I tried using ssh -version command which is returning

Sun_SSH_1.1.3, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0

Can you tell me what does ssh3 refers and which ssh version it corresponds or any details on it .

Thanks in advance.

There are two different issues at work here:

1. SSH the protocol, and

2. SSH the implementation.

There are two major versions of the SSH protocol: SSH1 and SSH2.

Regarding implementations, it is a bit more complex.

OpenSSH 2.5.1 implements SSH protocols SSH1 and SSH2.

OpenSSH 3.x also implements SSH1 and SSH2; so I am assuming that your "SSH3" refers to OpenSSH version 3.x.

If ssh -V returns

Code:

Sun_SSH_1.1.3, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f

Then it is a /usr/bin/ssh shipped with Solaris 10, that only indirectly relates to OpenSSH.
It supports SSH2 protocol (default) and SSH1 protocol (deprecated).
For SSH3 protocol support you need to install another package, e.g. by means of /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil
