My appologies.  Looks like I have redhat 8.  I found the binary rpms I need for redhat 9.  Can I use redhat 9 rpms on redhat 8?  Or should I take your advice and just run the src rpm?

Many thanks.

John

After running an rpm -ivh on a .src file, cd  to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS, 
then run rpmbuild -bb openssh.spec (may just be openssh), and it will 
compile an RPM for your box and your software.
