OpenSSH is crap, it always has been I have been tring to get them to change it for a while but nobody listens to me. what I have done here is downloaded ssh 2.4.0 from ftp.ssh.com (I am still testing 3.1.0 and haven't completly approved it for my network yet) on just one computer, checked the pgp key, uncompressed it, went into the directory and did a make. I then dropped down a directory and recompressed it. I took this new tar.gz and put it on my own local ftp server. so when I do an install I can do it quickly and easily, even on a 386. (my file server is lodo) fetch ftp://lodo/pub/OSinfo/ssh.tar.gz tar xfvz ssh.tar.gz cd ssh-2.4.0 make install rm /usr/bin/ssh* rm /usr/bin/scp rm /usr/sbin/sshd change rc.conf to: ssh_enable="YES" ssh_program="/usr/local/sbin/sshd" #path_to_ssh? that does it... to do the upgrade you should go back into the SAME directory (ssh-2.4.9) and type "make uninstall" if that doesn't work you can just go and delete ssh manualy: cd /usr/local/bin rm ssh* rm scp* rm sftp* cd /usr/local/sbin rm ssh* then wipe out your man pages: cd /usr/local/man/man1 rm ssh* rm scp* rm sftp* cd ../man5 rm ssh* cd ../man8 rm ssh* after this do your install like normal, happy hunting!!
