Yep. SSH (OpenSSH) is optional on many systems, especially if they have a desktop GUI interface. If it's not installed, it certainly can't cause trouble. :-)

thanks- i forget that soem of the posts on linux are abotu servers or systems with other stuff on them-

well that is weird- i checked with ssh -V and came up with

“OpenSSH_8.9p1 Ubuntu-3ubuntu0.10, OpenSSL 3.0.2 15 Mar 2022”

when i run sshd —help - i get

“Command ‘sshd’ not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install openssh-server”

[Bob434]

ok now im confused-

it seems i have the client when i check with ssh -V

but not the server when i check with sshd -V

woudl i have to have both in order to be vulnerable to the exploit?
