However, the problem when I go to install that RPM from www.openssh.org
on a Red Hat 7.1 machine is as follows:
[root@www /root]# rpm -Uvh openssh-3.0.2p1-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
openssl = 0.9.6b is needed by openssh-3.0.2p1-1
libcrypto.so.2 is needed by openssh-3.0.2p1-1
[root@www /root]#
Apparently, there were no 3.0.2 RPM's built for a 7.1 machine.

Personally, I have the paranoia that Roldolfo expressed. In fact,
www.openssh.org maintains an area that includes RedHat Linux releases
(or
rather rpm's). They or RedHat are my official sources for openssh and
no
others. Depends on your trust level.
As far as RedHat including it in the base system, they in fact do for
the
openssh version that was current at that time. They also update openssh
regularly to account for bugs and/or security issues. But this is not
necessarily the latest that openssh.org produces though.
Protecting Newbies can only go so far. There is point at which the
newbie
has to get up to speed to maintain his/her system in a secure [1] state.
RHN does this quite nicely and easily.
[1] secure is defined by you as your needs and requirements will
vary
with the application or situation you are managing.
