I just installed OpenSSH 2.5.2p2 on a RaQ4i. I found an earlier message in 
the list from Mike Vanecek very helpful. (Subject:

Each of these packages installed easily with just
./configure
make
make test
make install

Except the "tweak" he mentioned when configuring OpenSSH itself. On the 
RaQ4i and maybe others you must configure in MD5 password support.
./configure --with-md5-passwords
make
make install

Only step left was to add it to my boot sequence.

It took me three days to track all this down, but once I got everything it 
went relatively smooth. My own lack of knowledge of Linux was the biggest 
stumbling block.
