To check if it's installed, as root try the which command:

liberty:/home/bwiese # which sshd
/usr/sbin/sshd
liberty:/home/bwiese # which ssh
/usr/bin/ssh

or the locate command:
liberty:/home/bwiese # locate sshd
/etc/init.d/rc3.d/K17sshd
/etc/init.d/rc3.d/S08sshd
/etc/init.d/rc5.d/K17sshd

If its not located anywhere on your system, then thats a good bet its not
installed.  If you're running RedHat/Mandrake or an rpm based Linux, head
over to rpmfind.net and do a search on openssh, download an appropriate
(i386/586/686) rpm of it.  Then #rpm -Uhv <filename>.rpm  to install it
(as root).

If you have debian, #apt-get install openssh

If you want to compile from source, head over to openssh.org and check out
some of the documentation, you have to download the openssh package, the
openssl package from openssl.org, the zlib package and perhaps something
else if you do not have them all already.  Take your pick of howtos online
if you need some guidance.  Let me know if you have any problems (I was
going to write a howto on this... havent completely finished my samba one
yet though).
