I have already installed the OpenSSH package in my Ubuntu client system using the apt-get install method.
Unfortunately, due to the audit point, I need to hide the OpenSSH version details.

Can we recompile it?

If not, please suggests me how can I hide the OpenSSH version.

  • Is your question really about programming? You might want to ask at AskUbuntu or SuperUser. – usr1234567 Apr 07 '15 at 08:29
  • Thanks for your valuable suggestion. It is not related to Ubuntu system. We can hide the version of OpenSSH by modifying the version.h at fresh installation. And i m interested in knowing that how can hide the version for OpenSSh which is already installed. – Mohammed Raish Sayyed Apr 07 '15 at 09:51

Fix it by changing the version.h file code 

#define SSH_VERSION     "OpenSSH_6.4"

#define SSH_PORTABLE    "p1"
#define SSH_RELEASE     SSH_VERSION SSH_PORTABLE

to 

#define SSH_VERSION     "OpenSSH"

#define SSH_PORTABLE    ""
#define SSH_RELEASE     SSH_VERSION SSH_PORTABLE

and then 

./configure
make 
make install

Will hide the version of already installed OpenSSH using apt-get install or yum install.
