Ssh can be built in two flavors... international and US. The diff is
that intl version has its own implementation of RSA algo, US version
uses RSAREF library from RSA, Inc. To be strictly legal with regard
to patent (which will expire next Sept., btw.) in the US, you should
use US version. When you built it yourself, you didn't use config
switch to force US version, so it built intl version. Your options;
1) generate new key with only 1024 bits, or 2) get RPMs for intl
version and ignore patent issue.
