Sorry, I wasn't clear. I have no problem installing or
upgrading OpenSSH from ports. Indeed, that's all I
know how to do.

My question is how to upgrade OpenSSH as included with
5.2.1. If a ports install will do this, great.

The more general question is how to upgrade system
software, especially in cases where it's not included
in the ports collection.

OK, that's a relief, thanks.

Same question holds, though. If some system software
is actually vulnerable, what's the procedure to update
it?

thanks
