    OpenSSH - A Little More Privacy, Please. Ping!

    I have my network setup to accept an secure ftp connection (sftp) via OpenSSH (see http://www.openssh.com/). I decided to see if I could connect via telnet because I had disabled it and I just want to test it out to be sure that no telnet connection is accepted. Typing

    telnet <my_url>.net returns the following information about my system:

    SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.6p! Debian-5ubuntu0.1 >

    I would like to disable this function because I do not want to give ANY hints to hackers as to what they are up against. Pinging me and getting information in return is, well, not secure. So, does anyone know how to disable this descriptive broadcast of my network?

    Thanks,

    Mike
