Hi,

One thing you might otherwise end up scratching your head over: ssh-1.2.26
won't work. You need to recompile it from source, with 1 line in login.c
#ifdef'd out because the utmp in glibc2.1 is different to that in
glibc2.0. I could probably get an rpm made on Monday if you like, but
probably not before. I know someone who's done a successful upgrade over
FRH5.0.2 on a laptop, so it doesn't look to be *too* fraught with hidden
dangers.

Cheers,
Chris.
