Thanks. I see new ports that I didn't have before, and I see old ports
with new dates and version numbers, but I can't find openssh or OpenSSH
or open-ssh in /usr/ports/security nor in /usr/ports/INDEX, and when I
look via the web site I see a port tarball for it but the "source" is
just a list of checksums. Others seem to be getting openssh
automagically and I feel a bit left out :-)
A most learned gentleman assured me that the reason was that I was
doing my ports wrong because I couldn't have read the handbook, so I
thought I'd better ask for help when another re-reading took me down
the same path.
Now I'm back where I started. Does everyone else's ports tree have
openssh in it?
