Trevor:
Thanks for the help. I did get it to work.
In case you or anyone needs, here is what I did:
cd /usr/local
rpm -e --noscripts openssh openssh-clients openssh-server
lynx
ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-2.5.2p1.tar.gz
tar zxvf openssh-2.5.2p1.tar.gz
cd openssh-2.5.2p1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openssh
--with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/openssl --with-md5-passwords
make
make install
cp contrib/redhat/sshd.pam-7.x /etc/pam.d/sshd
Thanks
Neil.
