Good morning everyone. I just had a couple of questions about upgrading OpenSSH on a FreeBSD 4.9 box. Being that 4.9 ships with: OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030924, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090703f I wanted to upgrade my version of OpenSSH to a more recent version. My question is, what is the proper method in doing so? I see that, currently in the ports tree, openssh 3.7.1p2 is available for install. There is also the possibility of installing from source. I would think that using the ports tree may be a very good option, as you can upgrade later with portupgrade. With that in mind, what is the best method in doing this? If I decided to use the ports tree to upgrade my openssh, do I need to do anything before hand? Backup? Save etc...(I should mention, im testing this on a test system first). I appreciate the input and advice anyone lends. Cheers, Jason
