OpenSSh 2.5.2p2 on Linux/Sparc

[Lewandowsky, Matt]

Does OpenSSH actually have SPARC/Linux binaries? (/me checks...) Since I
don't see any architecture info, I assume the RPMs are for x86... So,
SPARC/Linux users have to install from source... (Good for my reference...)

Georg: Are you running GNU sed? Type "sed --help" to see... If not,
reinstall the RPM from your install CD... If so, see if the RPM has been
updated in Errata. If this isn't the case, try installing the one from 6.2.
I was fairly unimpressed with 6.0/SPARC, myself. 6.2 was slightly better.
Maybe them not releasing 7 was a good thing, as it will give them time to
figure out the best way to get things working right before the next
supported release.

Hope I was actually of some help,
