I went through this last week with OpenSSH version 5.x (not currently available for RHEL or CentOS 5 except by third party provided software), and bash. Turns out that OpenSSH 5.x doesn't read your .bashrc for non-login sessions, OpenSSH 4.x did. RHEL 6 addressed this for normal use by updating bash so it gets handled more like people expect it to behave, but I had users very upset that the new OpenSSH with the new features did not handle their reset PATH settings from their .bashrc.
I would think that using an enterprise distribution of Linux where several hundreds of developers are testing the integration would serve you better than building your own openssh, your own bind, your own "everything else" and trying to bolt it onto the backport model that red hat uses to keep your stuff secure.
Nice try. It was a commercially provided OpenSSH distribution, sold for RHEL users, with thousands of users. (I'll send you vendor name privately, if you're curious.)
I agree it gets into serious pain: this is one of the many reasons that I try to dissuade people from inserting their own components, built directly from source, not under RPM.
