Hello Mr. Port Maintainer,
How do I get PKI capability added to the WishList for OpenSSH in FreeBSD. I am just a devoted user... who would like to have PKI security capability built into my FreeBSD system like it is in Windows. SSH would be a great start.
Is this something that can even be considered?? Thanks!

It should be question to maintainer of FreeBSD port of OpenSSH since I
don't use FreeBSD.
I could help him to resolve incompatibility problem with different patches.

P.S.: The OpenSSH team ignore all patches from OpenBSD team. The reasons
could be found on openssh dev. list but I think that all code written by
other than core OpenBSD members will be ignored forever.
