	We at MacPorts provide a port for openssh, but as it stands it is at  
its latest release, 5.0p1. You could, however, backtrack it to  
something prior to 4.5 and have MacPorts build the result for you, but  
you have to be willing to do some subversion && MacPorts trickery. Let  
me know if you're interested and I'll walk you through it.

	Disclaimer: I do not guarantee that such experiment will be  
successful, I don't know if openssh 4.5 or earlier will build cleanly  
on Mac OS X Leopard. I'm just saying we can attempt it.

	So, let me know. Regards,...
