Okay, so I've been watching this with the few spare cycles I've had today,
firstly disabling sshd and secondly waiting for the security advisory.
Since I haven't seen it yet, and would like to patch and reenable sshd as
soon as possible, I'd like a quick 2-liner HOWTO... what do I need to do to
be sure I've got the right patched sshd built?  I'm running 1.6.1_STABLE.

Basically, is it: cvs up -d in crypto/dist/ssh and make install?

thanks,
