[lug] OpenSSH upgrade small issue

[Justin]

I checked file perms too I just forgot to mention it. I compiled ssh 
from a tarball and set the configure option for Configuration files 
to /etc/ssh. So it should know where it's config files are. I haven't 
tried strace yet, I'll do that and see what happens. Thanks...

> Someone already mentioned that you should check your file and 
directory perms.  Another thing that comes to mind is that maybe it's 
looking for the files in /usr/local/etc/ssh/.  Dunno, just a thought.  
Was it installed from RPM or tarball or??  Try using strace, tee the 
output to a file, then use grep to see if (where) it's looking for 
ssh_config.
