At the risk of contributing to said flame war, these are the steps I took to upgrade openssh on RedHat 6.2: mkdir /var/empty chown root:sys /var/empty chmod 755 /var/empty groupadd sshd useradd -g sshd -c 'sshd privsep' -d /var/empty -s /bin/false sshd ./configure --prefix=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh \ --with-md5-passwords make make install /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart Done. Not quite as easy, but pretty easy just the same, and I don't have to expend the time looking for the 'right' .rpm, or one that doesn't exist. If there's anything wrong with this method, I hope someone will point it out to me. --charlie -- Charlie Farinella [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
