4.6-R (Was: Re: FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-03:18.openssl)

[Peter C. Lai]

recompiling the secure and crypto subsystems on the latest RELENG_4_6 (cvsup'd
3 Oct.) will fail with one of the ssh-pam modules not being able to link with
libssh (unrecognized symbols). This is uncool. 

I noticed that the latest RELENG_4_6 already has the ssh patches; did someone 
backport them and upgrade something along the way? I thought 4.6 is supposed to
be unsupported?  I was expecting to be able to manually patch my 4.6 sources 
and recompile just the crypto/secure subsystems but instead I was forced to 
upgrade to 4.8 which broke a ton of other stuff (mainly ports). Maybe I should
have moved to RELENG_4_7 instead.
