You won't get the most recent version but one that will do nicly and you don't have to wurry about how to go about. An outdated version isn't bad per say. For stability a outdated version is usaly better. For security a recent version is better. All that matter is that there are no security risk. And as stated by Nagilum, when there's a security risk then its alway updated and else it may take some time. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/FreeBSD/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Upgrading openssh
Hi Eric, The base version of openssh is updated frequently (especially if any vulnerabilities are discovered), so why bother with the port? Kind regards, Alex.

Upgrading openssh
After figuring out perl (with the help of Matthew, I was wondering what the proper way to install/upgrade openssh. I assume it's to install from ports, and somehow disable the installed, system version. What's the proper method? -- Eric F Crist Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry, and the world WILL turn. pgpHmCQNZMu77.pgp Description: signature

I think you were using the base system's ssh installation before (which is located in /usr ). When you installed the OpenSSH port, you got a second installation in /usr/local. Please use `which ssh' and `which sshd' in order to confirm this assumption. If it is true, then you have the following options: 1. Switch to the ports ssh -> since you already installed the port, you only need to remove your ssh stuff in /usr, e.g. /usr/bin/ssh, /usr/sbin/sshd, (kill the sshd before deleting it, but this will only work if you are not currently logged in via ssh :-)... Additionally, you have to tell the system to use the sshd in /usr/local, so you should add the following line to /etc/rc.conf sshd_program="/usr/local/sbin/sshd" In order to preserve your settings from the base system, you should carefully merge the configuration files in /usr/local/etc/ssh with your old ones in /etc/ssh. You should also put NO_OPENSSH=true into /etc/make.conf in order to exclude OpenSSH from the following buildworlds. 2. Patch your base system's ssh as described here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:12.openssh.asc You should also delete the port in order to prevent future confusion 3. Delete the ssh port, and re-install it with PREFIX=/usr. This will overwrite your base system's ssh, but I don't know whether this solution is supported, and I don't think that it is the cleanest one... NO_OPENSSH=true in make.conf is of course also required. I'd recommend to employ either option 1 or 2. Regards, Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Upgrading OpenSSH ...
Hi , II am trying to upgrade OpenSSH whihc is default in freeBSD . I am trying it using /usr/ports/security/openssh all the installation went good way . I rebooted my system to the frsh installation of SSH to come into action ,But when i gave #ssh -V it showed me the same old version Any solution about how to go about the upgradation will be appreciated .
