FW: SSH RPM for Red Hat 6.2 not useable

[Rachit Siamwalla]

You need RPM 3.0.5.

RH 6.2 by default comes with RPM 3.0.4.

You need to download the RH 6.2 Updates / Errata as stated in the
README. It has RPM 3.0.5. Besides, if you want a secure box you should
keep up to date with the updates; i guess this is another way the
openssh folks force you to to secure your system :)
