Which reminds me, building source packages is really not as easy as one would hope it to be. I had to go through some contortions to build the potato ssh-1.2.27 package on slink. Example: The perl5 dependency had to be edited to make it a perl dependency. libgmp2 had to be edited to gmp2. A bunch of fake PAM dependencies had to be removed... ssh-ask control section had to be removed since I was compiling on a non-X machine. I had to find a bunch of packages required for compilation by trial and error... BSD does kind of spoil you that way. -N.
