I think you were using the base system's ssh installation before (which is located in /usr ). When you installed the OpenSSH port, you got a second installation in /usr/local. Please use `which ssh' and `which sshd' in order to confirm this assumption. If it is true, then you have the following options: 1. Switch to the ports ssh -> since you already installed the port, you only need to remove your ssh stuff in /usr, e.g. /usr/bin/ssh, /usr/sbin/sshd, (kill the sshd before deleting it, but this will only work if you are not currently logged in via ssh :-)... Additionally, you have to tell the system to use the sshd in /usr/local, so you should add the following line to /etc/rc.conf sshd_program="/usr/local/sbin/sshd" In order to preserve your settings from the base system, you should carefully merge the configuration files in /usr/local/etc/ssh with your old ones in /etc/ssh. You should also put NO_OPENSSH=true into /etc/make.conf in order to exclude OpenSSH from the following buildworlds. 2. Patch your base system's ssh as described here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:12.openssh.asc You should also delete the port in order to prevent future confusion 3. Delete the ssh port, and re-install it with PREFIX=/usr. This will overwrite your base system's ssh, but I don't know whether this solution is supported, and I don't think that it is the cleanest one... NO_OPENSSH=true in make.conf is of course also required. I'd recommend to employ either option 1 or 2. Regards, Simon
