Thank you, Tim!

Consequetly there aren't system utilites for managing software
that is the part of the system in FreeBSD. And if I need to replace
for example ssh I must remove it by 'rm' and then install new 
package by hand. I don't undestand why ssh is the part of system!
It's very strangely!

Best regards,
Grigory Klyuchnikov
