This is what I did, and it seems to work. (I'd be grateful if someone pointed out anything I did wrong. Part of it was gotten from a post by someone else, and the rest I figured out, for better or worse, on my own. cvsup ports to make sure you have 3.4. Make install. Edit /etc/rc.conf Change enable_sshd="YES" to a "NO" add the line sshd_program="/usr/local/sbin/ssshd" In /usr/local/etc/rc.d you'll find that it's put a script called sshd.sh.sample. Rename that to sshd.sh You've probably seen the various advisories that suggest taking the ChallengeResponse line and changing it to no (and uncomment it as well) Lastly, until I renamed /usr/sbin/sshd, it kept giving me the old version number--so, stop sshd, and rename /usr/sbin/sshd to something else. Then, start the new one /usr/local/sbin/sshd This seems to work. HTH Scott Robbins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
