I checked the src/crypto/openssh/configure.ac.  It might defines one of
LOCKED_PASSWD_STRING, LOCKED_PASSWD_PREFIX or LOCKED_PASSWD_SUBSTR,
depending on the OS it is being compiled on.  I understand that the
FreeBSD project doesn't use the autoconf stuff and there doesn't need
a modification to the upstream OpenSSH-portable, stricly speaking.

Therefore I dare to give them a patch that will define
LOCKED_PASSWD_STRING to "*" when the compiling host is FreeBSD,
it seems to make sense.

Regards,
