Re: this -D option, I've rarely if ever had to use options when 
building ports - where do I use that argument: on the "make" or the 
"make install" command line or both?  IE should it be:

#cd /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable
#make -DOPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE
#make install


Should I pkg_delete the openssh-overwrite-base-3.3p_1 first, or just 
fix things in pkgdb afterwards?

??


Thanks,

Phil


PS: I wish people would settle on just ONE or TWO (informatively 
named) SSH threads... with all these threads I spent over an hour 
wading through stuff trying to find pertinent information.
