I'm just a newbie and an outside observer. Apparently, OpenSSH has been available as a port for a while. Do you think it would be useful to think about the hassle the user has to go through to install OpenSSH? Is it any more difficult for the user when OpenSSH is a port? (I gather that it is possible to use pkg_add to install parts of the base system as well as pre-compiled ports. So in general I might not even know whether `pkg_add -r foo' installs a port or a part of the base system?) Feel free to ignore me if this was really stupid. kai -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
