Hmm.

I recommend people install the OpenSSL port anyway, it gives you all those nifty extra programs that the maintainer(s) for the in-base openssl has seen fit not to include. > it belongs to as part of the base system which means that you probably > have to overwrite the old lib by hand but I wouldn't want to guarantee > that nothing is going to break if you do this. I can say from personal experience that installing the openssl port with -DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE doesn't break anything I've found or use (openssh, mod_ssl, courier_imap, and postfix). > To make it short: it's > probably best to just wait and update your boxes ASAP Why take down the whole machine, when you can use a port to just patch the broke part? That's what was so great about the OpenSSH port, it let a lot of people who couldn't make world or reinstall upgrade their copies of OpenSSH.
