Well, they make no claims regarding their public ftp Server, do they?

I must have missed the "binary" part. And from the check script:

   # Alternatively, the script can be passed a list of RPM filenames:
   #
   #     $ bash ./openssh-blacklist-1.0.sh some.i386.rpm other.src.rpm

I don't think it's very likely that SL is in trouble. But let's make sure.
Unfortunately, I can't find the SL4/5 SRPMS on my SL mirror, hence the 
request.
