One file still has no RELRO (and STACK CANARY and pie!
/usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass

RELRO           STACK CANARY      NX            PIE                     FILE
No RELRO        No canary found   NX enabled    No PIE                  /usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass

Is this expected please??

This is OK. We are mainly after long running or network facing programs that have root/elevated privs. So, that would be the daemon and any setuid programs that may exist.
