Hm?  Interestingly enough, I'm the  one that provided Damien with  the
spec file which he uses  to build the SRPM.   (There's  also a bug  in
that SRPM in that  the symlinks aren't  made  on the first install  --
patch to the spec file is being sent to openssh-unix-dev momentarily.)

The actual RPM (well,  SRPM) is made by Damien  Miller, using my  SuSE
spec file, rcsshd file and fillin template  for rc.config.  He doesn't
build RPM's for SuSE because his build/packaging  system is RedHat, so
he can only easily  make a SuSE S(ource)RPM.   No, this package is not
blessed by SuSE, Inc., but I'd be flattered if they considered it.  :)

I'd love to build  and feed Damien SuSE RPM's  and SRPM's, except that
there's the matter of US Export Laws (on strong encryption), and while
I don't think I'd get caught, I'm going to just grumble for now.

If you'd rather not grab his source RPM, simply download the whole tar
file (openssh-1.2pre15.tar.gz).   The SuSE-specific  files I generated
are  sitting in [srcroot]/packages/suse/.  Be  sure   to get the  spec
patch from the mailing list as the one in pre15 has a bug.
