up2date openssh openssh-server openssh-clients

The above command will get all three packages and install them, resolving 
any dependencies in the process.  (Yes, even if the packages are not 
already installed.)
If you run:
up2date openssh-clients, it would probably get openssh as well, but might 
not get the server package.
You do have to create an account and enable the machine, it takes all of 
5 minutes. ;)
To the best of my knowledge, the first machine is free, additional 
machines need a subscription.

It's useful for updates as well. simply running up2date -u will upgrade 
any packages on your machine for which Redhat has released an update.
