If that is an otherwise unpatched 4.7-RELEASE system, then there are
more security patches to apply than just the latest fun'n'games with
openssh.

The simplest way to get a fully patched source tree is to use cvsup(1)
with a sup-file like this (should be substantially the same as
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile):

    *default host=3Dcvsup7.us.FreeBSD.org
    *default base=3D/usr
    *default prefix=3D/usr
    *default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_4_7
    *default delete use-rel-suffix
    *default compress
   =20
    src-all

Then either do a complete build,install world+kernel or just rebuild
the selected parts of the source tree as intructed in the security
advisories.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
