If i'm not mistaken, openSSL are the libs that openSSH needs (required
by the rpm's of openSSH)

I wish it was that nice and simple, but you're on the way to be better
secured. I'm hardly a security expert, but I'm aware of those matters
(and, its on my "Waiting list"...). 
If you intend investing some resources on this matter, I suggest taking
that IPchains advice from Ira (Ira, I made a quick search through IGLU
site and IGLU on Egroups site, and couldn't find that ipchains script
you posted a few months ago. Can you repost that link/script ? [perhaps
putting it on Egoups-IGLU files]). I also suggest using TCPwrapper, as
another line of defense (and early warning). TCPwrapper are pretty easy
to set up.
OpenSSH documentation really lacks. You can start with
http://www.tac.nyc.ny.us/~kim/ssh/
General security matters can be found at
http://www.securityportal.com/lasg/
But there are many, many sites on the net on this subject.

Boaz.
