This is a side-effect of the fact that the RPM you're trying to use was
probably built on a glibc 2.1 machine (for instance, RH 6.1). As a result,
the RPM (and included binaries) depend on glibc 2.1. If you want a version
for your machine, you could either try to find the source RPM and rebuild a
binary RPM, or simply build ssh from source and install on your machine the
old-fashioned way.
