Most of us assume that one would only use non-standard security

Are you getting SSL from a port?  If not, you should remove it to get
updates to the base system version.  [SSH uses SSL, but doesn't
include its own version; it uses the base or ports version, as
directed by some port makefile logic that I haven't looked through
very carefully.]
