bundled openssh version
Hey all, couple quick questions. ' Is freeBSD ever going to update the contributed version of openssh to something more recent? I'm particularly interested in the DNS SSHFP support, and I'm unsure of the differences between the base version, the one in ports, and the portable version in ports, as far as what functionality I would gain/lose. -Dan -- You recreate the stars in the sky with cows? -Furrball, March 7 2005, on Katamari Damacy Dan Mahoney Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The OpenBSD team develops OpenSSH for their operating system. Since this piece of software won't run on other systems without huge patches they offer a portable version of OpenSSH. I don't know the differences in detail, because I neither use OpenSSH in that excessive manner nor OpenBSD. A slightly changed portable OpenSSH 3.8.1p1 comes along with the FreeBSD base system. The p indicates that this is the portable version. You'll find a list of these small changes in /usr/src/crypto/openssh/FREEBSD-upgrade[1]. The port security/openssh-portable is the most recent OpenSSH 4.1p1. If you want to know the FreeBSD-specific changes then the patches in /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable/files/ might be helpful. security/openssh is a patched OpenSSH 3.6.1 of the non-portable version; I think this port falled asleep. The Changelog[2] gives hints about the functionality that you will gain with a newer version. I'm not sure, but I guess you lose almost nothing if you choose the latest.
