Description:
OpenBSD's OpenSSH portable version Normal OpenSSH development produces a very small, secure, and easy to maintain version for the OpenBSD project. The OpenSSH Portability Team takes that pure version and adds portability code so that OpenSSH can run on many other operating systems (Unfortunately, in particular since OpenSSH does authentication, it runs into a *lot* of differences between Unix operating systems). The portable OpenSSH follows development of the official version, but releases are not synchronized. Portable releases are marked with a 'p' (e.g. 3.1p1). The official OpenBSD source will never use the 'p' suffix, but will instead increment the version number when they hit 'stable spots' in their development.

pkg-message:
For install:
To enable this port, add openssh_enable="YES" in your rc.conf. To prevent conflict with openssh in the base system add sshd_enable="NO" in your rc.conf. Also you can configure openssh at another TCP port (via sshd_config 'Port' and 'Listen' options or via 'openssh_flags' variable in rc.conf) and run it in same time with base sshd. 'PermitRootLogin no' is the default for the OpenSSH port. This now matches the PermitRootLogin configuration of OpenSSH in the base system. Please be aware of this when upgrading your OpenSSH port, and if truly necessary, re-enable remote root login by readjusting this option in your sshd_config. Users are encouraged to create single-purpose users with ssh keys, disable Password authentication by setting 'PasswordAuthentication no' and 'ChallengeResponseAuthentication no', and to define very narrow sudo privileges instead of using root for automated tasks.
