You might want to try recompiling the openssh srpms and installing them on
your box. Openssh is a lot like regular ssh, but it's an open source
project instead of being created by a commercial company. I have a copy
of the srpms created by tummy.com here:
http://www.verinet.com/~arcane/openssh/
You'll need to recompile both rpms:
rpm --rebuild openssh-1.2.2-1.src.rpm
rpm --rebuild openssl-0.9.4-3.src.rpm
Then go into /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS and install openssl*.rpm first and then
install openssh*.rpm.
Please tell me if you are able to get this working, because I've only been
able to test this on x86 boxes. It should work though, and rpms are a lot
easier to update/remove then using an install script. If you live outside
the US there might be some export restrictions on whether or not you can
download it...
