I want to use rpm2cpio, I accidentally deleted my ssh_config file from my /etc/ssh folder. I need it back and this was supposed to be the best way, thanks in advance, here's a screen shot.



[root@host log]# cat rpmpkgs | grep openssh
openssh-3.6.1p2-18.i386.rpm
openssh-clients-3.6.1p2-18.i386.rpm
openssh-server-3.6.1p2-18.i386.rpm

[root@host log]# rpm2cpio openssh-3.6.1p2-18.i386.rpm >ba
rpm2cpio: openssh-3.6.1p2-18.i386.rpm: No such file or directory

[root@host log]# cd /tmp

[root@host tmp]# rpm2cpio openssh-3.6.1p2-18.i386.rpm > cpio
rpm2cpio: openssh-3.6.1p2-18.i386.rpm: No such file or directory

[root@host tmp]#

I'm not sure exactly how, but mc will let you "cd" into an RPM and copy files from it.
I tried without success to mimic this behavior with a command (mc uses %cd %p#rpm).

Just re-install.
rpm -e openssh
rpm -Uvh openssh...
You still have the rpm, o ryou can download an update.

like one said midnight commander for the easy way and copy the file you need
