:: How can I tell of open-ssl is installed, and if so, what would be the path

If you're running FreeBSD-4.x then you have OpenSSL installed in the base
system.  By default, the libraries are in /usr/lib, and the include files
are in /usr/include/openssl.  If you use the ports version of Apache, or
any other programs that use OpenSSL, they should be able to find it
automagically.  If you're using 3.x, then use the port (security/openssl).

:: How do i make/get the /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key file?

ssh-keygen -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ''

:: I only want to use regular password authentication so that it is easy to
:: use. Are there any special configurations I need to make to do this?

The default sshd_config supports password authentication, so you shouldn't
need to change anything to get that working.  Also, be sure to read
/usr/src/UPDATING for information about the recent changes to the way
OpenSSH interfaces with PAM.

:: I appreciate the help, thanks.

Welcome.
