Get the spec file from the stock openssh SRPM and use that as a guide
to create a spec file for openssh-5.6p1 that will create the
openssh-clients and openssh-server sub-packages and then re-build it
again.  Now you can upgrade the three packages
openssh-5.6p1-1.i386.rpm, openssh-clients-5.6p1-1.i386.rpm and
openssh-server-5.6p1-1.i386.rpm.
