You're not entirely clear ; "System files" are (re)compiled when you make a buildworld, which is basically 'rebuild the entire OS from source'. > (2) you mention that I could remove the sshd files manually, but would it > then be possible to re-integrate the latest version of OpenSSH as > system files again (effectively replacing the old files in /etc/sbin?) I only have 1 thing to say ; If it ain't broken, don't fix it. You won't gain much by running OpenSSH 3.0.2. The default SSHD has been configured , tried and tested. It's the safest bet. > (3) the changes I've made do not affect the ssh client. When I type # ssh > -V ... I still get the old version. Where is ssh initialized? How do I > upgrade the client too? Check your $PATH. OpenSSH from ports is installed in /usr/local/bin (or sbin?). You just need to have that path before /usr/bin. You could also simply create an alias for ssh and have it point at the new version. Hope this clarifies a bit.
