Hi all,

Available now is:

    openssl.0.9.6.i86pc.Solaris.2.6.pkg.tgz
    openssh.2.3.0.p1.i86pc.Solaris.2.6.pkg.tgz

    openssl.0.9.6.SPARC.32bit.Solaris.7.pkg.tgz
    openssh.2.3.0.p1.SPARC.32bit.Solaris.7.pkg.tgz

    openssl.0.9.6.SPARC.32bit.Solaris.8.pkg.tgz
    openssh.2.3.0.p1.SPARC.32bit.Solaris.8.pkg.tgz

You need to install OpenSSL to use OpenSSH, as well as ensuring
that zlib is loaded, also available on the archive.

OpenSSH is compatible with both version 1 and 2 SSH protocols so it's
a drop in replacement for the other versions. It also has many more
security and encryption options.

You can fetch the packages now from:

    http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/

and the mirror sites soon.

Enjoy,
Mark
