For sshd I remove Sun's, install sunfreeware.com's.
Whenever I need to upgrade sshd I ssh into the host, upgrade the
pkg via pkgrm/pkgadd, then look for the root sshd, kill it, and
run the startup script. The active ssh users just plod along
happily since they've already got a memory copy of the older ssh.
Just don't use pkill, or you'll have to visit the host :(
