Hi.

Jeff, rather than toiling with RPMs built by someone else who 
could be a mainiac, why not compile OpenSSH from source?  At least 
that way you will know the mainiac in question :^)

openssh-2.5.1p1.tar.gz 
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/ 

openssl-0.9.6.tar.gz  
ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/

ZLib 1.1.3 (zlib.tar.gz)
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/zlib.html

It really is quite easy.  If you like, I would be glad to offer any 
assistance to you.

What error(s) are you getting when trying the OpenSSH RPMs?  Do you 
have Zlib and OpenSSL installed?  They are both required for OpenSSH 
whether you are compiling from source or installing via RPM.

Take care.
