On a FreeBSD box, installing SSH is fairly trivial. If you use FreeBSD
4.0, OpenSSH is already installed (assuming you installed the DES
packages).
In FreeBSD 3.x, install the RSARef port (cd /usr/ports/security/rsaref &&
make install), then install the ssh or openssh port (cd
/usr/ports/security/ssh && make install). I don't know that RSARef is
required for OpenSSH.
Once you have it installed and tested, it's time to sit down and evaluate
your inetd config. Check through /etc/inetd.conf, and decide if you need
any of those services. If you are only using this box for IMGate, then
you can totally disable inetd through /etc/rc.conf. Just make sure that
SSH is starting up properly before you do this.
