yum won't update openssh to most recent ver

[bstone]

I am sitting here at a FC2 box. I installed and modified the yum.conf file in order to add more mirrors. I then did rpm -q openssh which said: openssh-3.6.1p2-34

I check and found the most updated version of openssh is 3.9p1. So, I typed

yum update openssh
openssh is installed and the latest version.
No actions to take

Well, that's just not true. Downloading the rpm brings up a list of dependencies, thus my desire to use yum. Any ideas?

when I do rpm -Uvh for openssh i get the following

[root@nospam root]# rpm -Uvh openssh-3.9p1-1fc2.i386.rpm
/etc/security/selinux/file_contexts: No such file or directory

Ok i figured out how to fix this problem....
Remove all of the old stuff by doing "yum remove openssh"

then you need to install both(they can be found at openssh.com):
openssh-3.9p1-1fc2.i386.rpm
and
openssh-server-3.9p1-1fc2.i386.rpm

use the "rpm -Uvh packagename" command to install them.
waa laa your problem is solved...just go into /etc/ssh and edit your config file.

what's wrong with openssh from fc2?

It isnt the current version and i belive it has a security hole...but dont quote me on that...

I do know for a fact that it doesnt support MaxAuth though...
