Incidentally, if someone can tell me why "rpm -qa openssh-\*" doesn't return "openssh-4.3p2-19.fc6" in the list, but "rpm -qa openssh\*" does, I'd like to know. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
