well, I think yes, because I upgraded all via CVSUP using this supfile:

=================================
*default host=cvsup3.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress

src-all

cvs-crypto

there is some other way to see if my ssh is coming from -stable ?

unfortunately that is the only message I see in the log file

You mean re-CVSUP just with "cvs-crypto" in the supfile ?
or just using /usr/ports/security/openssh ?

Sorry for the maybe silly questions but I'm still a newbie :-(



thanks a lot!
