I see new ports that I didn't have before, and I see old ports with new dates and version numbers, but I can't find openssh or OpenSSH or open-ssh in /usr/ports/security nor in /usr/ports/INDEX, and when I look via the web site I see a port tarball for it but the "source" is just a list of checksums. Others seem to be getting openssh automagically and I feel a bit left out :-) A most learned gentleman assured me that the reason was that I was doing my ports wrong because I couldn't have read the handbook, so I thought I'd better ask for help when another re-reading took me down the same path. Now I'm back where I started. Does everyone else's ports tree have openssh in it? -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
