Recompile openssh and build an rpm
I am needing to recompile openssh to hide the ssh banner which I found I can do in the version.h. I know.. I know, but its a requirement of some dumb security company so the company I work for can get their blessing.

Anyway. I am going to upgrade in the process and have downloaded the source code. Now I need to make an rpm out of it and install it out on my all my Linux boxes. I have never rolled my own RPM from source. Can someone point me in the right direction. Is this a one step process do go from a directory with src code and build an rpm out of it.

Depending on your Distribution, try to get a Source RPM from them. Building RPMs from scratch requires writing .spec files that rpmbuild uses to configure/make/pack the code, and that can be a pain in the a^H backside.
