Not really. We don't tend to maintain ports in parallel with the base system after software gets included - it causes too much work to keep both copies updated and make sure they don't tread on each others toes. There is no need for the ports version in a post-4.0 world for either OpenSSL or OpenSSH. > I just received my 4.0 cd's and installed a new system.

Build your world with NODESCRYPTLINKS=yes, or if you're doing a binary install then point the libcrypt links to libscrypt manually post-install. > BTW, the message generated when the port fails points to the wrong chapter > in the handbook.

Referring to the chapter by number was a mistake..it's since been corrected. Installing the US version after the fact can be done by going back and selecting the 'crypto' distribution from sysinstall - the international version isn't available on the Walnut Creek CD (there are internationally-produced releases which do include it) which is why it's available separately as a package.
