OpenBSD does not ship RSA libs in the base system.  After installation you have
to download either ssl27USA.tgz or ssl27.tgz (int'l) and install one of them
with pkg_add - if you want to use the SSH1 part of OpenSSH.  The patent applies
only within the USA, so OpenBSD can ship the RSA libs from Canada.  I have
OpenBSD installed on three machines, and because I live in the US, I cannot yet
legally use ssl27.tgz, although OpenBSD.org can ship it to me.
