because SME uses the same rpm of CentOS 4.x, which takes them from RHEL 4.x

don't bother about version number: RH is used to apply security patches.

Please read up on this in the FAQ as well: http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Later_versions_of_applications

It contains a link explaining the backporting RedHat Enterprise Linux does.

this is not supported by contribs.org, and once you do it, you'll be on your own, so please don't come here to ask for support

I've not tested it
</DISCLAIMER>

you can follow this howto to create your openssh rpm to upgrade to 5.2

you should start from point 7 of the howto you linked, so you need to create your own template fragments to modify sshd_config

create group and users via server-manage panels

if you want to chroot users into their home you need to do the chown/chmod commands.. otherwise, if you need them to be jailed into an i-bay, you should not need anything else than create an i-bay and associate it to your group.

once you've done, if everything works, please create an how-to in the wiki, thank you
