You need a patched ssh. this patch is very very old. Don't know why it
never made it in ssh. You can grab an src.rpm of a mpdified 1.2.26 ssh
with that patch applied from ftp.solucorp.qc.ca/pub/misc.

I will check that. In the mean time, you can reconfigure linuxconf using
"Control file and systems/all commands and daemon"
