To install openssh, requires zlib and openssl. Openssl doesn't seem simple
to install (I'll look into it further), then Openssh's install instructions
aren't so good either.
Though in writing this email I did go to linuxdoc and looked at the
"Securing and Optimizing Linux: RedHat Edition -A Hands on Guide", It seemed
to have some instructions that I may be able to digest.
Being a sysadmin: its a journey (especially when you aren't a sysadmin)
