if you only have sshd loaded, I think you can only do port forwarding
and secure logins.  If you have scp, ssh, etc (on the server side),
then you can do secure copies and secure remote shell activities.

The rpm is just a distribution.  I would guess that the RPM is setup so
you don't have any extra overhead in loading the client, as opposed 
to the server, if you will only be doing client activities.
