Hi,

After using cvsup to update my source tree to 4.6.1-RELEASE-p3 I did a 
buildworld to undo the effects of having installed openssh-portable-3.4p1 and
openssl-0.9.6e from ports with their overwrite-base functionality.

The first problem I found was that openssh-3.4p1 in base doesn't appear to 
link against openssl-0.9.6e in base. Numerous unresolved references result for
libssh.so.

The solution I used for this was to reinstall openssh-portable-3.4p1 again 
until the base version is fixed. This may not be a bad thing because the ports
version of openssh may be more "fixed" than base.

The second problem I found was that openssl-0.9.6e from ports installs 
libcrypto/libssl with version number 3 while the updated base version installs
with version number 2. This broke a lot of my installed ports.

The solution I adopted for this was to symlink libcrypto/libssl.so.2 to 
libcrypto/libssl.so.3. This keeps my ports happy and any rebuilds of them will
reference the .so.2 version through the existing .so symlinks.

I hope this information helps anyone who dealt with the openSSH issue as I did
and now wishes to revert to a standard installation.

Regards,
Neil Darlow M.Sc.
