I have no opinion about this whole situation, but I _did_ get OpenSSH 3.3 to build on RH 6.2 and running properly after applying the following fixes: 1. I activated privilege separation as recommended. 2. I added 'Compression off' to sshd config file. 3. As root, I created directory /var/empty/etc (not sure if I should do this as root or as a non-privileged user 'ssh') 4. As root, I touched /var/empty/etc/group. Restarted and all works fine.
