	We're running...

  HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.6 - ECO 3
  on an AlphaServer DS15 running OpenVMS V8.3

Our security folks keep reporting this system as vulnerable to the "SSH
Secure Shell without PTY setsid() Function Privilege Escalation" issue:

                     http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/740619

In particular, they're relying on scans from Nessus...

                     http://www.tenable.com/products/nessus

...which identifies our system as vulnerable.  It parses the hello string
from our SSH server, which reports a SSH version less than v3.2.2.  According
to the CERT site, HP's Tru64 is reported as "not vulnerable," but what about
their TCP/IP stack for OpenVMS?

Regards,
Mike
