When ssh appeared the default was /etc. It was not a bad location but cluttered /etc. Thats why I asked Tatu to use a configure switch (--with-etcdir) for that. I know we generally don't allow ports to touch /etc but I agree that we should configure our port to install in /etc/ssh. It also avoid cluttering /etc. > I'd like to undo the patches that do this...

I always use /etc/ssh. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #1: Sun Jan 14 20:23:45 MET 1996
