Out of the OpenBSD repository, or out of the OpenSSH project? Note that www.openssh.COM currently says: *NEW* OpenSSH 1.2.3 released March 6, 2000 which sounds a lot like a new release to me... > > I would rather not make world just to update that. > >How do you handle updates to any other part of the system? Why do >you consider openssh a special case? I think openssh is a bit different than most things in the current base system, in that it is still in rapid development, and some of those developments WILL be of immediate interest to sites using openSSH (in particular, some of the improvements to compatibility with other implementations of ssh1). >You can usually update individual parts of FreeBSD without doing >a "make world". cd /usr/src/... && make -jX install && make clean. While I do think OpenSSH is something of a special case, this answer should be fine for my own purposes. I was also wondering how easy it would be to update just openssh without updating all of the world.
