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.
Well I too agree with what you say as true but my bottom line is I have to pass this audit and my boss is anxious to pass the audit and so is the management, regardless of where they read up the info from internet, weather they are amatuer script kiddies or not THEY ARE THE AUDITORS and
I have to comply.

ssh-copy-id
SSH-COPY-ID(1) General Commands Manual SSH-COPY-ID(1)
NAME
ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys
SYNOPSIS
ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine
DESCRIPTION
ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine (presumably using a login password, so password authentication should be
enabled, unless you've done some clever use of multiple identities)
It also changes the permissions of the remote user's home, ~/.ssh, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to remove group writability (which would oth-
erwise prevent you from logging in, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in its configuration).
If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
ssh-agent. Otherwise, if this:
ssh-add -L
provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.
If the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file. Once it has one or more fin-
gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
if necessary)
