Sorry, I tuned in late on this one.

/lib/libcrypto.so.5 is a symlink to /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7f  and comes
from the openssl-0.9.7f RPM.  ssh-agent isn't required to run on your
system unless you want to, for example, run X remotely and not go
through the initial ssh login.  I typically don't run it as my machines'
iptables only allow ssh connections in, so I have to "ssh -X" first,
THEN run whatever X client I want.

You should make sure you have the openssl-0.9.f RPM installed.  IIRC,
FC4 comes with both the older openssl097a-0.9.7a-3.i386.rpm and two
versions of the 0.9.f version--one for 386 and one for 686.  It looks
like one of the 0.9.f RPMs didn't get installed for some reason.
