You can always update your sources with CVSup to the security branch of 4.5-RELEASE by using the tag RELENG_4_5 (as opposed to RELENG_4 which would fetch you 4.5-STABLE).

Read the manpage of syslog and look at the description of -s. > 3. Will sftp-server use /etc/ftpchroot in the future? Can't tell. I'm not using sftp-server.
