Subject: Hiding SSH version string


| I've read a number of times that people hide their ssh version string so that
| attackers don't know what version you are running.  I've read the
| documentation and can't seem to figure out how to do this.  Can somebody
| explain to me how this is done?  Thank you so much!

The hackers are likely to just try whatever exploit anyway. They'll even
probably be thinking "Oh, they're hiding their version... probably quite old"
:-) Best just to keep up to date.
