Honestly, I think this sounds like a great idea. I've been struggling for sometime to figure out a way to get ssh small enough to easily fit into a picobsd image I've been working on to no avail. I hadn't actually thought (silly me) of checking out the port vs. the OpenSSH version, but if it really is as small as you say it is, it perfect for me. And modifying a version of it to be even more tweaked/smaller sounds like a great idea. I'm sure there are a number of ports that would benefit from that kind of attention. I haven't really looked at the code for the ssh port, but I would certainly be willing to participate in this project in anyway I could. - Ben To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
