[alajangi]

Hi Experts,

In my centOS6 machine ssh cmd is giving the following Error

# ssh
-bash: ssh: command not found

checked the sshd service as below

# service sshd status
openssh-daemon (pid 5406) is running...

But cmd not available in below paths and the file ssh_config is not available under /etc/ssh

# which ssh
/usr/bin/which: no ssh in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

# ls -lrt /etc/ssh
