I started from the source and then after I ran into some problems I tried the port. I took the port from 4.4 and tried it but since the ports moved to the common BSD ports tree... I had more problems. OpenSSH was in the 3.x tree before the move to the common ports but it's only 2.1.1 and still has some known security problems. I'm starting to get the idea it gust might be easier to try and get the other custom software modified to run in 4.4 :-) ---- Kirk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
