I upgraded to openssh-portable 3.3p1 from ports; note that this morning
the port was updated to build openssl 0.9.6d as well, rather than use
FreeBSD's openssl libs.

I also had to enable privsep; this requires creating an sshd user & group,
and creating an empty /var/empty/ for the priv separator to chroot to.
Hopefully the openssh-portable port can be updated to create that account
& dir at some point, since privsep is on now be default.
