upgrade openssh to 3.3, or 3.2.1 + privilege separation

There was recently an annoucement of an openssh security problem.

A full fix will be available next week, and until then, it is
advised that you run the openssh daemon (sshd) with privilege
separation enabled.

Here is some advice for users of various versions of NetBSD:

	1.4/1.5 users - use pkgsrc. ie: pkgsrc/security/openssh/Makefile
					revision 1.73 (openssh-3.3.0.1).
	1.6_BETAx users - openssh shipped with 1.6_BETAx 3.2.1, with
		privilege separation enabled.
	current users - openssh shipped with current is 3.3, with
		privilege separation enabled.

ftp.netbsd.org downtime Sat, June 29, 9am Pacific time


We are upgrading the hardware on ftp.netbsd.org on Saturday, June 29,
9am Pacific (12 noon Eastern) to upgrade hardware and its OS revision.

I hope to keep the downtime to less than 4 hours, but it depends
entirely on how fast the data can be copied from the old to the new
machine.  However, I'm planning for a 8 hour window in case something
goes wrong.

Mail will be sent when things return to service.
