Subject:   Upgrading ssh--anything wrong with this method
Message-ID:  <20020625070818.GA18001@scott1.homeunix.net>

After fumbling around on a couple of test boxes and messing up some
start up scripts, I found this method for upgrading openssh seems to
work. I'm just wondering if there is anything drastic that I'm
missing.  

After doing make install--

mkdir /var/empty
cp /usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/
ps ax | grep sshd
kill <pid>
cp /usr/local/sbin/sshd /usr/sbin/sshd
sshd

In other words, just putting the newer version where the old version
was, and letting the default startup scripts start it.

I imagine that there are better ways, but I don't know enough about
Makefiles to edit it.

TIA

Scott Robbins
