Thanks Marcelo. That certainly helped.

Although, now I keep seeing this message:

*[root at mpvmpc19 paramiko]# yum install Crypto.Util.randpool
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading "priorities" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - ~
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Reading repository metadata in from local files
336 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
Parsing package install arguments
*

In the yum configuration file, there are may mirrors listed in a few files:
What should the priorities be? (I wnt to make sure no packages are excluded.
336 is a very large number)

Second: I was able to install python-paramiko. It seems to work with
Python2.3 (Python2.3 comes as default with CentOS). I have installed Python
2.4.6 and need the same to work with that. Any tips?
