Ack. This is the right place to put it.

We have to be careful here though. The RHEL6 FIPS-140 certification 
hasn't been completed for the RHEL6 OpenSSH Client or Server, nor 
OpenSSL. Only the NSS libraries have been certified. Latest at 
http://www.redhat.com/solutions/industry/government/certifications.html.

I'd open a ticket stating to verify that RHEL6 has passed FIPS for 
OpenSSH and OpenSSL before we ship the guide.
