Recent Solaris releases do *not* include ssh.  Binary packages are 
available from sunfreeware.com, 
<http://sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc8.html#openssh>.  You also need 
openssl.

In the past I've generally built my own binary packages of openssl and 
openssh, using a kernel module to provide /dev/random as a random source 
(I think the sunfreeware packages use EGD).  Making installable packages 
is reasonably easy, and well documented.  More info in the Applicating 
Packaging Developer's Guide, at
