Worked in the tech field for over 15 years. Started out learning basic on an Apple IIe then on a TRS-80. Been interested in computer hardware and software my entire life. Consider myself lucky that my hobby as a kid/adult is what I get to do everyday earning a living.

Stolen from @Mokubai:

You're going to have to be more explicit in what you've done thus far. Can you access this apache setup using your outsie IP address, for example?

Is your computer behind a router? If so you'll need to some additional steps to create a map of port 80 (Apache) on your router so that it directs any traffic to the port 80 on your laptop.

@vonbrand, yup, I see it in 100+ systems I support. You're advice is dead on to Kevin.

comment Finding RPMs for Install
@Kevin, Vonbrand is 100% correct. If it isn't available there are probably good reasons. Regression tests need to be performed, the new version might have bug fixes for other OSes, not RHEL, so they may be skipping it. There are really a whole slew of reasons. On such a core package such as OpenSSH, I would leave it up to the distro entirely.

Sorry @Vonbrand, my comment wasn't to you, to Kevin.

If there is a package available, I would expect it to show up in the RHEL RPM Network prior to showing up in other places. Even this assumption is really dependent on the specific package. But in general that's why you pay for RHEL RPM Network.

@Kevin - That assumption isn't a good one. There isn't really any correlation to a new version being available on a particular software's site vs. an RPM being available.

Why can't you use changing password programs? @JoelDavis asked the question as a comment on your question too. Just curious.
