Thank you for your response. It was very helpful. But I still don't understand why certain applications are both in the FreeBSD distribution and also in ports. So, now I've got sshd both in /usr/local/bin and also in /usr/bin. Their respective config files are in /usr/local/etc/ssh and /etc/ssh. So I've got two daemons, and two sets of config files which has been really confusing since I've been editing the wrong ones. rc.conf points to the ports copy and ensures that one starts up at boot. But I'm obviously doing something wrong to get into this situation with two copies of the application. It is easier to keep the port version updated, because that doesn't require a whole buildworld. Should I throw the other one away? Thanks Ari Maniatis BTW: I solved my kernel compilation problem (I had to "make cleandir" as well as the usual "make clean"). Thanks.
