After today's update of the world, emerge printed the following message: * Messages for package net-misc/openssh-6.4_p1-r1: * dev-libs/openssl was built with 'bindist' - disabling ecdsa support * Remember to merge your config files in /etc/ssh/ and then * reload sshd: '/etc/init.d/sshd reload'.
That was quite a surprise for me, as I never installed (open)ssh and it is not in my world. After the following query: # equery depends --indirect openssh I have got the following: * These packages depend on openssh: gnome-base/gvfs-1.16.4 (net-misc/openssh) app-cdr/brasero-3.8.0 (gnome-base/gvfs) media-gfx/gthumb-3.2.4 (cdr ? >=app-cdr/brasero-3.2) app-editors/gedit-3.8.3 (gnome-base/gvfs) gnome-base/nautilus-3.8.2 (>=gnome-base/gvfs-1.14[gtk]) app-cdr/brasero-3.8.0 (nautilus ? >=gnome-base/nautilus-2.91.90) app-text/evince-3.8.3 (nautilus ? >=gnome-base/nautilus-2.91.4[introspection?]) gnome-extra/sushi-3.8.1 (>=app-text/evince-3.0[introspection]) gnome-base/nautilus-3.8.2 (previewer ? >=gnome-extra/sushi-0.1.9) gnome-extra/sushi-3.8.1 (>=gnome-base/nautilus-3.1.90) media-gfx/gimp-2.8.6 (gnome ? gnome-base/gvfs) app-doc/gimp-help-2.6.1 (>=media-gfx/gimp-2.4) media-gfx/dcraw-9.10 (gimp ? media-gfx/gimp) media-gfx/gthumb-3.2.4 (!raw ? media-gfx/dcraw) xfce-base/thunar-1.6.2 (dbus ? >=gnome-base/gvfs-1.10.1) (udev ? >=gnome-base/gvfs-1.10.1[udisks,udev]) (udev ? >=gnome-base/gvfs-1.10.1[gdu,udev]) (xfce_plugins_trash ? >=gnome-base/gvfs-1.10.1) xfce-base/xfdesktop-4.10.2 (thunar ? >=xfce-base/thunar-1.6[dbus]) xfce-base/xfce4-meta-4.10 (>=xfce-base/xfdesktop-4.10) virtual/ssh-0 (minimal ? net-misc/openssh) (!minimal ? net-misc/openssh) Inspecting my /etc/conf.d and /etc/init.d directories, I have found sshd files in both of them. So, my main question is as follows: Do I really need (open)sshd and, if no, how can I properly disable (open)sshd in my Gentoo box? I guess that one of the ways to disable (open)sshd is to make /etc/init.d/sshd file unexacutable, but is it a clean way to do so? May be, it is relevant to this question that, in the future, I am going to employ the distributed compiling feature for this and another Gentoo box on the same local network. The additional my question is as follows: What I am supposed to do in response to the "merge your config files in /etc/ssh/" message above? Thank you.
