What I had to do to make this work was build OpenSSH 3.6.1 by hand, install it which puts it in /usr/local/sbin/sshd then test it. I fired up the new one on port 2000 and tested it there. When I could prove that worked I killed the process running on port 22, copied sshd to sshd.3.5p1 (just in case something goes bad you still have the old version) then copied sshd from /usr/local/sbin/ to /usr/sbin/, restarted the sshd on port 22, then tested that. Once I was happy that all was working right I killed the one on port 2000 and I was all set. Seemed to work like a charm.

Maybe a little overly cautious on my part, but since I was doing the upgrade via ssh I didn't feel like cutting myself off by accident then having to drive 30 miles into work to console in and fix the problem. Believe me, I've done it before. :)

Hi all,

Refering to the latest sshd vurnability (http://slashdot.org/articles/03/09/16/1327248.shtml?tid=126&tid=172) I was thinking of upgradeing my sshd as well. So I cvsup'ed my system (FBSD 4.8) and there seems to be a updated file for sshd. But how do I upgrade sshd safly since when I type 'pkg_info |grep ssh' it return no packages. I guess sshd is included somehow by the default install (??) but how can I now upgrade it? I was thinking of portupgrade, but it needs a package to upgrade...

Thanks!
