Hello, I would like to know what's exactly the difference between openssh-portable and openssh ports. I don't like the banner that default sshd has, and I don't like to stick with older versions (2.9 or 2.3) even if they are patched. So, I overwrite base install with openssh-portable on a regular basis, but I cannot find the sense of the other "non-portable" port. (BTW... I mean... if one is "portable", that means the other one isn't, right? ;-) ). Please don't take the last affirmation seriously... it's just a nonsense to stress that 2 ports for the same goal are rather confusing. Besides this, are there any reasons to stick with the default OpenSSH version included on FreeBSD source tree instead of building the port? (considering a syncronized source tree, following the respective RELENG_4_x branch, RELENG_4_5 in this case). Best Regards. Juan Pablo Villa Network Administrator Datafull.com - 4kbyte S.A.
