Out of the OpenBSD repository, or out of the OpenSSH project?
Note that www.openssh.COM currently says:
*NEW* OpenSSH 1.2.3 released March 6, 2000
which sounds a lot like a new release to me...

I think openssh is a bit different than most things in the current
base system, in that it is still in rapid development, and some of
those developments WILL be of immediate interest to sites using
openSSH (in particular, some of the improvements to compatibility
with other implementations of ssh1).

While I do think OpenSSH is something of a special case, this answer
should be fine for my own purposes. I was also wondering how easy
it would be to update just openssh without updating all of the world.
Thanks.
