Hm... I thought I did not need prngd from at least medium levels of 5.2 on... but I don't have a 5.2 system here to verify when that changed. So you have prngd installed - but is it also running?
To a beginner I'd always suggest to use System's Management Interface Tool SMIT. It knows the correct command syntax and tells you what it did when you look at the smit.script file or press F6 in the panel. Therefore it is a great tool to learn AIX.
AIX supports several installers but you'd use RPM for RPM packages and installp for BFF packages. SMIT will use either under the hood or geninstall which is some sort of wrapper for the former. Uninstalling the SSH package should look like this, the SMIT line might vary:
# installp -ugx openssh.base.server
Btw. as the USR part worked and the ROOT part failed: you did install as root did'nt you?

grid-ca-package
GRID-CA-PACKAGE(1) Globus Commands GRID-CA-PACKAGE(1)
NAME
grid-ca-package - Prepare a CA certificate, configuration, and policy for distribution
SYNOPSIS
grid-ca-package [-help] [-h] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]
grid-ca-package [-ca HASH] [-g] [-b] [-r] [-d]
DESCRIPTION
The grid-ca-package utility creates a tarball containing an RPM spec file and the files needed to use a CA with grid tools. It optionally
will also create a GPT package for distributing a CA.
By default, the grid-ca-package utility displays a list of installed grid CA and prompts for which CA to package. It then creates a tarball
containing the CA certificate, signing policy, CA configuration files, and an spec script to generate a binary RPM package containing the
CA. If the CA hash is known prior to running grid-ca-package, it may provided as an argument to the -ca parameter to avoid prompting.
In addition to generating a spec script and tarball, grid-ca-package creates a GPT package if either the -g or -b options are used on the
command-line. These packages may be used to distribute a CA and configuration to systems which do not support RPM packages.
The grid-ca-package utility writes the package tarballs to the current working directory.
The full set of command-line options to grid-ca-package follows.
-help, -h, -usage
Display the command-line options to grid-ca-package and exit.
-version, -versions
Display the version number of the grid-ca-package command. The second form includes more details.
-ca CA
Use the CA whose name matches the hash string CA. When invoked with this option, grid-ca-package runs non-interactively.
-g
Create a GPT binary package in addition to the RPM script tarball. This package may be installed on other systems using the gpt-install
program.
-b
Create a GPT binary package with GPT metadata located in the path expected by GPT 3.2 (used in Globus 2.0.0-5.0.x) instead of
${datadir}/globus/packages as used in Globus 5.2.x. This option overrides the -g command-line option.
-r
Create a binary RPM package for the CA. This option currently only works on RPM-based distributions.
-d
Create a binary Debian package for the CA. This option currently only works on Debian-based distributions.
EXAMPLES
Package a Simple CA with hash 0146c503
% grid-ca-package -ca 0146c503
Creating RPM source tarball... done
globus_simple_ca_0146c503.tar.gz
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of grid-ca-package:
GLOBUS_LOCATION
Non-standard installation path of the Globus toolkit.
