Dear Sirs,
Excuse me if I am wrong,
but on the RELENG_4 tag,
the openssh port seems to be the
old version, and as far as I can
see,( on the 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/
RELENG_4 tag) 
And there are *some* security problems with it:

http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html
028: SECURITY FIX: Oct 6, 2000
There are printf-style format string bugs in several
privileged programs. 

Looks like we've missed something.
Please note,
that -current has the patched (2.2.0) version
of openssh. 

Please note, that the openssh.2.2.0p1 distribution
downloaded from openssh.com, fixes it too.
Can't understand why this patch, among others:

                if (fail) {
-                       log(buf);
                        fclose(f);
+                       log("%s",buf);
                        restore_uid();
                        return 0;
                }
has been published at oct/06, and 2.2.0 is available
as of september, in which the above is patched.

Just last night compiled openssh2.2.0p1, on my
machine, just to replace the buggy code. 
�he ports is with the old version, 
nomatter that it has been updated through cvsup
1 week ago, the same done with /usr/src/
tree.
As far as I noticed, the above
fragment has *not* been present on any of
the sources-the ports,
under /usr/ports/security/openssh/
and  the /usr/src/ RELENG_4
branch.(4.x-stable)
