You have (at least) two possibilities when installing from ports. a) "normal" installation will install the new sshd to /usr/local/sbin/ and leave the old version as it is. then change rc.conf : sshd_program="/usr/local/sbin/sshd" sshd_flags="-f /usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config" or whereever you install the files to. This way you can change back to the old version by changing the rc.conf back to its defaults. b) "overwrite" installation specify OPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE (check the Makefile, but that should be it) when installing the port. This overwrites the old base system sshd. No need for rc.conf changes, but be sure to define NO_OPENSSH= YES in your make.conf - otherwise the next buildworld will overwrite your port installed sshd again. Joerg
