You should have used checkinstall <http://www.gnuguy.com/linux/checkinstall.htm> when building from source. In this case, I recommend against using RH update to update your RPMS.
http://rpms.arvin.dk/ has many up-to-date packages available. I strongly recommend that you download the SRPMS and rebuild them against your libraries on your RH 6.2 box or reinstall from scratch (7.3). Apache, OpenSSH, and mod_ssl should be found on the rpms.arvin.dk's site. Get the OpenSSL from RH's update page.

Gentlefolk, I'll admit I'm about as crufty as that old IO-tower guardian in Tron. I don't trust Unix updates; they've hurt me many times in the past. Ok, Linux ain't Unix, but that distrust lingers. Still, if I had a pristine, only-from-RPMs system, I might decide to take the plunge without discussion and do an update from 6.2 -> 7.3--except. There are a fair number of software packages that, due to the age of the system and the number of dependencies, simply couldn't be updated from stock RPMs and so were compiled and installed using the (package) native installation procedures. Apache, SSH, and OpenSSL to name a few, but there are a number of others, too. How well or poorly have people found RH update to work in such a system?
