Could I simply use rpm to install for me including checking on dependencies?

Could someone (briefly) outline the easiest way to proceed and upgrade. I am familiar with RPM so if that can do it, great.

Since the 7.x series are binary-compatible, I believe that the openssh rpms that Red Hat has just released for 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 will work fine on your machine.

If I have to compile, so be it.

Rebuilding isn't very difficult.


- As root, run the command "chown -R user.user /usr/src/redhat"
        where "user" is the name of a user without priviledges.
- As user, download the .src.rpm for Red Hat 7.1
- As user, run the command "rpm -Uvh openssh-3.1p1-9.src.rpm"
- As user, run the command "rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/openssh-server"
- If your system complains about missing packages, install them
        as root, either using up2date or from the CDs
- If all packages are installed, the rpmbuild command will build
        all the openssh rpms and put them in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
- As root, install the rpms and run the command "service sshd restart"
