are you sure that's not 2.9? my version is 2.3.0, too, but doesn't
support -t option; ssh -V gives:

SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0 green@FreeBSD.org 20010321, \ 
protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
Compiled with SSL (0x0090601f).

i went thru' the source (/source/src/crypto/openssh/ssh-keygen.c),
cvsup'd on jul 17 2001, and didn't find -t option; and a visit to...

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/crypto/openssh/ssh-keygen.c

...confirms that 2.9 version has both the -t & -d options.


while we are on the topic, the commit log says that revision 1.1.1.7 
happened more than 2 months ago, then why do i have the 1.1.1.1.2.3
version when i cvsup'd less than a month ago? the cvsup servers were
cvsup2 and cvsup4. 

...seeking enlightenment...
