The source for the software is:   

  http://www.ssh.fi

You can also try:

  http://www.openssh.org

I found this by searching on google: 

  http://www.tac.nyc.ny.us/~kim/ssh/

I'm not familliar with the particular problem you're having, but one thing
to keep in mind is that it's often convienient to have both ssh1 and ssh2 
installed, but to accomplish this, you will need to make sure you install 
ssh1 before ssh2 -- if you do this, then they will co-exist (with ssh2 being 
the default).  I've had the most success with both installed (as many of the
hosts I work with have either one or the other).

I have had trouble with ssh2 and the RequireReverseMapping option in
the sshd2_config file -- when connecting from hosts for which the server
can't perform a reverse dns query to find the hostname, it will fail.  To
solve this problem, you'd either have to connect from a host who's ip will
reverse resolve to a dns name, or set RequireReverseMapping to 'no' on the
host you're trying to connect to.


Hope this info helps.
