But seriously, it should find its way to, /usr/ports/security/openssh Here's what to do to make _sure_ you get that pesky OpenSSH port, # cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile . # sed -e 's/^ports-all/#ports-all/' -e 's/^#ports-security/ports-security/' ports-supfile > security-supfile # cvsup -g -L 2 security-supfile | tee cvsup.log If that fails, send us the cvsup.log file that is being written in the last step.
