FWIW, you can use the source rpm for openssh with only a little extra
trouble. Install the source rpm as usual:
rpm -ivh openssh-3.4*.src.rpm
Go into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and edit the openssh.spec -- there is a
line about 20 lines down that says something like
%define redhat6 0
(sorry if that's not quite right, it's from memory). Change that to
%define redhat6 1
then rebuild from the spec file with
rpm -ba openssh.spec
It should crank everything through, and leave your rpms in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386. They won't be signed, obviously. ;)
HTH, Pat
