SSHd problem

[samuelee]

My SSH service has been terminated and prompted the following error messages :

#/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart
Stopping sshd : [FAILED]
Starting sshd : [OK]
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd status
sshd dead but subsys locked

Then I've tried to re-install the OpenSSH. There were no problem for installing
openssh-2.9p2-7,
openssh-askpass-2.9p2-7
openssh-askpass-gnome-2.9p2-7
openssh-clients-2.9p2-7

However, there arised some error messages for openssh-server-2.9p2-7 :
warning: /etc/pam.d/sshd created as /etc/pam.d/sshd.rpmnew
warning: /etc/ssh/sshd_config created as /etc/ssh/sshd_config.rpmnew
error: unpacking of archive on file /usr/sbin/sshd: cpio:rename failed - Operation not permitted


My environment:
Linux 7.2
Openssh-2.9

Please help !

Why are you using such old and insecure versions? openssh-3.1p1-6 is in RedHat's updates for your distribution for months.
