	Yes, I believe so.  In fact, if USA_RESIDENT is NO, I would 
expect this port to bomb out.

	I just installed a fresh 4.0-RELEASE a couple of days ago, and 
although USA_RESIDENT was set to "NO", and I made a point of grabbing 
both the sources and the crypto from ftp.uk.freebsd.org, it still 
seemed to get the RSAREF stuff which choked and puked on keys larger 
than 1024 bits.


	In order to fix it, I installed cvsup (like an idiot, I did the 
port and not the package -- Do you have any idea how long it takes to 
build XFree86, especially when you don't want X on the machine, and 
you have no way to specify -NOX on the command line to "make install" 
for cvsup?  ;-).

	After that, I set up the appropriate cvsup files for RELENG_4, 
did a make update (which took many hours, since I was still running 
on a GENERIC kernel and couldn't make use of either SMP or 
softupdates), then a "make buildworld" and finally a "make 
installworld".  Afterwards, sshd seems to work okay now.
