I'm using openssh-2.1.0, openssl-0.9.5a, and zlib-1.1.3/

I did all three of the above from source.

Bingo. No file. I read all that stuff about PAM in the docs but I didn't
get the impression that I actually needed to do anything. Would it remedy
the problem if I installed just the OpenSSH RPM or should I try to create a
PAM file in /etc/pam.d, given that I don't know how at the moment?
And from where does the OpenSSH RPM come from? Is
ftp://ftp.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-2.1.0-1.i386.
rpm what I'd want?
