OpenSSH for FreeBSD
Installing OpenSSH on your FBSD machine, in a secure shell.
Checkout the OpenSSH Home Page at : http://www.OpenSSH.com
OpenSSH is an implementation of the ssh protocol with a less restrictive license. Read the full details at http://www.OpenSSH.com/features.html but in short, OpenSSH "can be used for any and all purposes, and that explicitly includes commercial use". So, if you want secure communications, I recommend OpenSSH.
OpenSSH uses the SSH protocol. SSH is more secure than telnet, which uses clear text (even for your password!).
Why Use OpenSSH?
Your #1 reason is the license for OpenSSH, over SSH, and other secure Telnet software.
We all want the freedom to use SSH for commercial purposes, but for commercial use of this software you must register it. As it is a good program, but now that you have another choice, feel free to check out a copy of OpenSSH that will do the same, and doesn't have to be registered for commercial use.

The removal of SSH or SSH2
To remove ssh, I did the following:
cd /usr/ports/security/ssh
make deinstall
The install of OpenSSH :
Remember, I have all the ports installed. So it was easy:
cd /usr/ports/security/openssh
make
make install
Running OpenSSH on your FreeBSD Box :
# ssh yf12
The authenticity of host 'sr-71.yourdomain.org' can't be established.
Key fingerprint is 1024 be:3g:g5:19:n5:uu:w8:43:2q:87:54:j0:32:6t:1p:62.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'yf12.yourdomain.org,10.0.0.1' to the list of known hosts.
root@yf12.yourdomain.org's password:
Last login: Sat Dec 9 18:03:23 1999 from blackbird.yourdomain.org
Next: Type /stand/sysinstall to reenter the installation and configuration utility.
Lets get OpenSSH Started, and Ready to Run :
/usr/ports/security/openssh] # cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
/usr/local/etc/rc.d] # ls
Congrats, You are now up and running... I hope this article has helped you.
