Carla;
I can suggest that you look at two things (after struggling with this
problem myself): the July Sun Blueprint for making a Package out of OpenSSH,
or the list of binaries to copy over in CERT's OpenSSH installation
instructions:
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0701/openSSH.html
or
http://www.cert.org/security-improvement/implementations/i062_01.html
I have to admit that the Package that Sun's script created dropped four
of my files in the wrong directory, but the nearest I can guess after using
it to move the software from one server to twelve more is that it takes me
about sven minutes to copy the Package, pkgadd it, move the files, and
generate Keys before I'm up and running.
CERT's information is more detailed and may help you if things go wrong.
One thing to be sure that you do is to make all the changes you want in
the /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config files before you send them off to
the other 5 servers in order to avoid having to customize the set-up five
times. And of course, the Keys have to be unique on every system.
Good luck!

P.S. Why did you use the older version of ssh and not OpenSSH 2.9p2?
