Assuming we are dealing with a Solaris system.
Even if you would manage to hide the information.
Do they want you to disable e.g. the "what", "pkginfo" and "od" command as well?
Change access rights to the full /var/sadm tree?
Manipulate the size of the ssh executable?
Someone who is smart enough to become a security risk just by knowing which version you run, is an equally big risk with any of the information provided by the commands or files above.
Who ever did the audit. Tell them to stop quoting what they read somewhere without knowing what it is about, and to pay you back whatever they charged you for the audit.

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)
NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for hostbased authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during hostbased authentication with
SSH protocol version 2.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
HostbasedAuthentication to ``yes''.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about hostbased authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read-
able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if hostbased
authentication is used.

ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
