    Hi Emre,
    
    We have tested OpenBSD and NetBSD, and have found
    that they do not experience this vulnerability, 
    even with ssh 3.0.0 installed.
    
    This is most likely due to the method used to encrypt the 
    password in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow.
    
    Best Regards,
    
    Steph

    I don't want to drag this boring thread any longer, but in
    your advisory, it stated that OpenBSD and NetBSD were
    not vulnerable.  So...if I install SSH 3.0.0 on one of those
    (even though the already come with openssh), ssh will not
    be vulnerable to this bug?  Or will it?  I think that part
    created a little confusion.
    
    
    Cheers
