I have checked the "changelog" entry of openssh and it shows NO

Sven - I ain't feeling so good.....Here's what I get : # rpm -q openssh --changelog |less * Mon Sep 24 2001 - cihlar@suse.cz - fixed security problem with sftp & bypassing keypair auth restrictions - patch based on CVS - fixed status part of init script - it returned running even if there were only sshd of connections and no listening sshd [#11220] - fixed stop part of init script - when there was no /var/run/sshd.pid, all sshd were killed * Thu Sep 06 2001 - nadvornik@suse.cz - added patch for correct buffer flushing from CVS [bug #6450] * Fri Jul 27 2001 - cihlar@suse.cz - update x11-ssh-askpass to version 1.2.2 * Thu Jul 26 2001 - cihlar@suse.cz - update to version 2.9p2 - removed obsolete "cookies" patch * Mon Jun 11 2001 - cihlar@suse.cz - fixed to compile with new xmkmf # So now I should go back and FORCE all these patches manually ??!! What the heck has been downloading when I do get patches ?? Is Yast that broken ? ===================================================== patches.

(The announcement shows for 7.3 still) As a matter of fact, the changelog entries only show changes in 2001, and I have seen (and applied) openssh updates since then !?

My 8.0 machine is also not reflecting a change.

The two 8.2 boxes worked fine....Do I manually download the patches and apply ?

I use Yast2 - abandon all hope ? Is there a problem with the 7.3 & 8.0

ftp sites ? (I have tried suse.com, gwdg.de, and leo.org) Suggestions/Comments ?

Ive updated my 7.3 via. fou4s, result: # rpm -q openssh --changelog * Tue Sep 16 2003 - postadal@suse.cz - fixed race condition in allocating memory [#31025] (CAN-2003-0693) * Fri Oct 25 2002 - postadal@suse.cz - fixed security problem: when password expired the forced password change echoed the password on the screen [bug #20903]. * Fri Jun 28 2002 - okir@suse.de - fixed broken %patch statement; re-added channelbug diff * Fri Jun 28 2002 - okir@suse.de - back down to 2.9.9, with patch * Tue Jun 25 2002 - okir@suse.de - patch for privilege separation+PAM as you can see, all's there... HTH, Sven
