This might be part of the problem. I haven't been using the "-d". But
the tarball is also missing the /etc/ssh/primes and /etc/pam.d/sshd
file. The web site for openssh.com mentions a line that needs to be
edited in the pam file, but it names a pam lib that doesn't exist on RH
6.2, so that info is broken for these purposes as well. I *REALLY
REALLY* wish the source rpm for RH 7 wasn't broken for --rebuild on a
6.2 machine, since I assume the right setup would be created with it.
