I don't know enough about this to know if these warnings mean that I can't build it or not. Also, since I'm e-mailing anyway, how can I tell what options were compiled into my exiting ssh: My system is freeBSD 4.11. PC% ssh -V OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030924, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f PC% so that I can do the same thing with the newer version. I don't want to build and install the newer version and have things quit working. Thanks.
