ssh and ssl have nothing in common (except that they are both encrypting
com)

in order to test your install:

1) Test the client by

ssh other.server.that.runs.ssh.where.you.have.an.account.com

see if it connects

2) Test the server

    # sshd

that sould start the daemon

    # ssh localhost

that sould ask you for a password (if the client AND the server were
both installed correcly)

read the man pages for more info...

    # man ssh
    # man sshd

PS: and don't worry about ssh2 you don't need it. There a small and free
ssh1 client that runs on windoze called putty. It should be good for
starters...
