i dont recall the original question! =)

openssh-portable is what i am speaking of.

the port is at /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable

current version is at 4.5 whereas yours was 1-2 major versions behind that.

check it out. once its installed, add this to /etc/rc.conf

sshd_enable="NO"
openssh_enable="YES"

that way the built in ssh doesnt run but openssh does. works wunderbar!
