I have upgraded to sshV3+ via rpm -U but I get a message about mismatch
with openssl.:

OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 90581f, you have 90602f
[FAILED]

I upgraded openssl to 0.9.6c but still get the same message when trying
to restart sshd.

I'm doing this remote on a machine that is 80miles from me and want to
be careful not to hose my connectivity.

Any suggestions?
