All:
I have been playing around with make.conf and I see that it is
possible to
to use the "NO_OPENSSH" variable to not build openssh when updating
fbsd
from source. I also noticed in the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file that
there is
a "sshd_program" entry that can be used to adjust where the
installation of
sshd is. I am assuming that this means that I can install openssh
from the
ports exclusively and use the rc.conf file to launch the ports sshd on
startup. Here are my questions about this:
1. Is my assumption correct?
2. Does this also apply to things like kerberos and openssl
3. Does this impose any notable side effects to the system
(possibly with
stability/security)?
Thanks

According to man make.conf, NO_OPENSSH is the variable which defines
whether or not to build OpenSSH. This doesn't have anything to do
with fetching OpenSSH. NO_OPENSSL=yes implies NO_KERBEROS=yes and
NO_OPENSSH=yes, since both things depend upon the existence of
Openssl. However, I highly suggest that you keep OpenSSL since it's
important for most software on various levels (ie how can you go
online to certain websites and login if you don't have SSL support?!).
Read man make.conf for more info on some of the variables that you
can define for your system via make.conf.
