In the past, you've installed a port that needed a newer/more-secure version of OpenSSL and installed the port version (or you've installed the port version of OpenSSL intentionally). Either case you're running the port version. 2. You're still using an old, insecure system-version of OpenSSL. If the first is true (ie, you're using the port version of OpenSSL), try portupgrade -aRr. You _may_ get away with that, but I wouldn't recommend it. If the second is true (more likely scenario), then you _have_ to update your src and rebuild your system in order to move on with your port upgrades. My advice would be to update your source. My last clean install was from a 4.9-REL CD and I keep the updates coming (now run 4.10-STABLE). Every update went without any glitches (of course as disclaimers go, everyone has different situations). HTH Mike
