For Fedora (or any RPM-based distro) it's good practice to use RPM 
package management.  The Fedora RPMs don't locate things like the stock 
compile does.  The RPMs mimic the file locations and behavior of other 
things in the RedHat world (e.g. /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin).  
If you want the latest OpenSSH use the spec build file in the package.  
Basically do the following:

1) Put a copy of openssh-3.8.1p1.tar.gz in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
2) Put a copy of x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.4.1.tar.gz 
   in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
3) Unpack openssh-3.8.1p1.tar.gz in a temporarly location (i.e. /tmp)
4) # cd contrib/redhat
5) Execute the rpmbuild command to build the OpenSSH packages using
   the information in openssh.spec (i.e. # rpmbuild -ba openssh.spec)
6) RPM will build the OpenSSH install and create the RPMs you need
   in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS
7) Install these and enjoy

Chances are you OpenSSH install is now a mix of the stock 
Fedora-provided OpenSSH packages and your manual compile.  Try this and 
see if you encounter additional problems.

Also, be aware of the functionality change for the X11 cookies if you 
use X over SSH forwarding.
