I just figured this out. I apologize, I am new to Red Hat and I 
just don't think to grab an RPM when I need to install something.

This is possible. I just tried to install Damien's RPM and get
the following:

[root at chime src]# rpm -ivh openssh-1.2.3-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        openssl   is needed by openssh-1.2.3-1
        openssl is needed by openssh-1.2.3-1
        libcrypto.so.0 is needed by openssh-1.2.3-1

I have already installed and compiles Openssl, did a make test
and it passed so I did a make install. I don't seem to have
libcrypto.so.0 anywhere on my system. If there is an Openssl
RPM I couldn't find it at openssl.org.

I found that Openssh does allow root to login but just does not
seem to be able to find the password for any other users.

Thanks for your patience.
