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 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.
