Once again I make me look like a fool..

I'm quite new to both mailinglists and FreeBSD so I'm not sure IF i should
post this or where I should post if.. sorry for pissing you off..

Well, for some month ago I saw the warnings about the root exploit for
OpenSSH here. What I never understood what, why should I update my world
because of an OpenSSH exploit? Isn't it enought to just cvsup the ports and
re-install OpenSSH from the ports?
