Re: Possible issue with PTF SI55522

[Ryan Watkins <ryanwatkinsaz@xxxxxxxxx>]

The directory structure has never been updated on IBM i 5.4, 6.1, or 7.1 
for OpenSSL or OpenSSH for version updates. Starting in IBM i 7.2, the 
directory structures no longer contain references to the OpenSSL/OpenSSH 
versions.

The OpenSSL version can be checked using the following command from QP2TERM:

openssl version

The OpenSSH version can be checked using the following command from QP2TERM:

ssh -V

Any way you can get more details from the vendor regarding the issue(s) 
they think exist in the latest PTFs?

Thanks!
