OpenSSH and Redhat 8

[Ben Lindstrom]

Extract the package and check the

openssh.spec  file for:

# Do we want to disable building of gnome-askpass? (1=yes 0=no)
%define no_gnome_askpass 0


If you don't plan on using gnome you should set that to 1.  and you can do
a rpm -ba openssh.spec on the package.
