Joe,

Have you installed openssl yet?
  'rpm -qa|grep openssl' or
  'which openssl'

If not, do that first. Then download the latest source from openssh.org under 'Other OS's ... Linux' then select the closest mirror to you.

If you are not using IPv6, make sure you don't configure it in. There's a default that translates IPv6 addresses to IPv4 addresses. I wasted an afternoon because I didn't explicitly configure for IPv4. The configure switch is either: --without-4in6 or --with-ipv4-default

This is what I used to configure openssh:
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-4in6 --with-pam --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh

After that, just do a 'make' then 'make test' and finally 'make install'. Except to the IPv4-IPv6 snafu, openssh fell onto my YDL box.

If you're using PAM, don't forget to copy the 'sshd.pam' file from the contrib/redhat directory. And also the 'sshd.init' file to your /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory.

Hope that helps.
