As I said in my first message, it complained about a missing
RSA library. (To reproduce the actual error message word by
word, I'd have to install the whole stuff again.)

I always use those snapshots, for many years now, and it worked
fine so far (even though I never had an RSA library).
What about the Release? Will 4.0-R be offered in two variants,
one for the US and one for all others, so they get a working
ssh? As far as I know, releases were the same for everyone,
so far.

That applies to a real lot of software which is now in the
ports. For example, lsof would be very useful to have out
of the box. And netcat. And sudo. And pgp. And a few
hundreds of others.
One of the first things I always did after a fresh install
was cd /usr/ports/security/ssh; make install && make clean,
just like I did with a bunch of other optional ports which
are not there "out of the box" (and shouldn't).
Well, sorry for my grumbling, I'll just keep removing the
non-functional /usr/bin/ssh from now on. :-)
Regards,
Oliver
