openssh and Redhat

[jwantz at hpcc2.hpcc.noaa.gov]

Over the past couple of weeks there has been concern at where I work (at 
NOAA) about system intrusions exploiting some flaws in openssh.  I have 
verified that Redhat released a patch to cure the problem.  It is 
openssh-3.1p1-6.  In addition, openssh-3.4 is also available in rpm form.  
I don't know about Debian or Slackware packages that will fix this 
problem.  I do believe however that there is a tool under Debian that can 
convert rpm to dpkg.
