Updating OpenSSH on RHEL 5.5

Latest response

Hi there,

We're currently running the latest version of OpenSSH for RHEL 5.5 (4.3p2). Unfortunately it seems that this version doesn't have support for the Match User directive which we are looking to use. Is it possible to upgrade it to, say, 5.1? And would this have to be done outside of yum since the latest version through the Red Hat Network is 4.3?

Thanks!

Cary

Hi Cary,

You are free to install a newer upstream version of a package, but if an issue is found, Red Hat will request you reproduce the issue on an inbox (the original 4.3p2) package. Hope this helps!

Any reason why Red Hat does not support a more recent version of OpenSSH on RHEL 5?
