I had a brief skim through the article, but I couldn't find an email
address.

It does suprise me that he couldn't get this working - 2.3.0p1 is shipped
as one of Redhat's update RPMs.

I know what problem he had, at least with the rpm.  At some point openssh 
began being built with a newer version of rpm than shipped with RH 6.2.  
The solution is for the guy to do what he was supposed to do anyway, before 
he started loading extra packages, which was to go to a redhat mirror and
download the errata files pertinant to his install.  One of those updated
rpms is an update of rpm.  From experience he probably would need to update
the popt libraries also, as the new rpm (new to RH 6.2) depeneded on that.
