Thanks for the pointer to the openssl rpm. I picked it up, installed 
it, the other openssh rpms then installed correctly, the whole proces
took about 3 minutes and now it all works! Hee, kind of takes the

things and just don't like feeling dependant on someone to create
an RPM I might need. That's my problem.

Thank you all for you patience once again and thank you Damien
