...so I just did a make world, build world, build kernel, install kernel for the first time *beam*, after cvsup'ing /usr/src to update to FreeBSD 4.4 from 4.2. All of a sudden, ssh isn't working. Now this is kinda annoying considering I _need_ ssh to be able to manage this server from home (and not come into the office...urgh.. offices.. *shudder*). I'm not going to enable telnet *laff*, so I need to fix ssh. The problem lies with sshd, and there are two of them. The first is the line, ConnectionsPerPeriod has been deprecated Having a look around, I find that this is screwing a lot of other people also, and to remove this problem all I need to do is comment out the line beginning with "ConnectionsPerPeriod" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. The second is the sshd error message, no modules loaded for sshd service Now putting this into Google gives the desired result (doesn't it always? ;-)), and I'm on my way, after replacing /etc/pam.conf with /usr/src/etc/pam.conf. It all works fine, and now the only reason I have to come into the office is when the office staff open some M$ macro virus. *sigh*

Why should you keep ports and documentation updated that you don't need? Read on to find out how to configure

The ports collection is a quick convenient way to install software. If you are about to install any software on your FreeBSD system (or any other BSD such as OpenBSD that supports ports), it would pay to check the ports collection first, read on to find out how.
