I have no problem installing or upgrading OpenSSH from ports. Indeed, that's all I know how to do. My question is how to upgrade OpenSSH as included with 5.2.1. If a ports install will do this, great. The more general question is how to upgrade system software, especially in cases where it's not included in the ports collection. --- "greg@grokking.org" <greg@grokking.org> wrote: > Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this but I > believe rkhunter is > just checking the version 3.6.1 and doesn't account > for the 'p1' part > which refers to a FBSD patch that corrected the > vulnerability rkhunter > is referring to. > > IOW, I don't think you need to update ssh on 5.2.1 > if your motive is > merely that rkhunter flagged it. OK, that's a relief, thanks. Same question holds, though. If some system software is actually vulnerable, what's the procedure to update it? thanks /wsbs __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
