HowTo: Install or Upgrade Base OpenSSH for FreeBSD

Different methods to get the base installation of OpenSSH to be upgraded or installed.

### PORTS ###

from ports:

cd /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable
make UPDATE_INTREE_OPENSSH=yes
make install
make clean

### OR ###
for OpenSSL:

cd /usr/ports/security/openssl
make -DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE install
openssl version

for OpenSSH:

cd /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable
make -DOPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes install
sshd -V

### PORTUPGRADE ###

for portinstall or portupgrade, prepare the MAKE_ARGS in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf:

vi /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
Look for an empty MAKE_ARGS and add the following to look like this:

MAKE_ARGS = {
'security/openssl' => 'OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes',
'security/openssh-portable' => 'OPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes',
}

using portinstall:

portinstall -rRm "OPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes" /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable/

using portupgrade:

portupgrade -rR openssh-portable-overwrite-base
