    Hi Brian, et. al.,
    
    Actually, this statement:
    
    > If you didn't pay for it then you are OK!!
    
    is not true.  SSH Communications Security provides 
    SSH Secure Shell for non-commercial / educational 
    use, and commercial use on the free operating systems
    (Linux / BSDs), free of charge.
    
    Those non-commercial users of SSH Secure Shell 3.0 
    (who didn't pay for it) are still vulnerable.
    
    If you are using SSH Secure Shell 3.0, whether you
    paid for it or not, please upgrade ASAP.  Non-commercial
    / education users can locate the upgrade at:
    
    ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh
    
    Best Regards,
    
    Steph
