No. /usr/local is for software installed outside the base system. The ssh package is part of the base system, so it's placed in /usr/sbin and /usr/bin. When I look at /usr/local, I know exactly what's there. Not Base software. It's important to maintain the distinction. I agree a better method should be available to *replace* base software with locally modified packages, but the solution is definitely not to place base software in /usr/local. >--Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
