it updates only openssh* packages, no zlib nor openssl.

and yes, Im concerned about this too, however the customer otherwise 
woule not accept blueonyx (I said Bluequartz in the previous mail, sorry 
about that).

My line of thought is: david will for sure continue providing openssh 
packages porting them back from fedora.. and I guess centos-6 is not too 
far in time and for sure it will come with openssh-5 installed, 
backporting from that version to centos-5 will be for sure somehow possible.

And yes, an advice to those not needing sftp chrooted right now: dont 
doit if you dont know how to update those packages from another 
sources... my advise is to better wait for centos-6 and blueonyx for 
centos-6..

but I was in a hurry... the job should be done today.. and I found a 
quite easy way.

BTW, by chmodding those dirs... does anything breaks? As of now it has 
been working perfectly. By editting the site will the permissions goes 
back to the original ones? I guess not but just to be warned if the 
customer calls ;-)

thanks in advance!
