1 After today's update of the world, emerge printed the following message:
2
3 * Messages for package net-misc/openssh-6.4_p1-r1:
4 * dev-libs/openssl was built with 'bindist' - disabling ecdsa support
5 * Remember to merge your config files in /etc/ssh/ and then
6 * reload sshd: '/etc/init.d/sshd reload'.
7
8 That was quite a surprise for me, as I never installed (open)ssh
9 and it is not in my world.
10
11 After the following query:
12
13 # equery depends --indirect openssh
14
15 I have got the following:
16
17 * These packages depend on openssh:
18 gnome-base/gvfs-1.16.4 (net-misc/openssh)

38 (>=xfce-base/xfdesktop-4.10) virtual/ssh-0 (minimal ?
39 net-misc/openssh) (!minimal ? net-misc/openssh)

41 Inspecting my /etc/conf.d and /etc/init.d directories,
42 I have found sshd files in both of them.
43
44 So, my main question is as follows:
45
46 Do I really need (open)sshd and, if no, how can I properly disable
47 (open)sshd in my Gentoo box?
48
49 I guess that one of the ways to disable (open)sshd is to make
50 /etc/init.d/sshd file unexacutable, but is it a clean way to do so?
51
52 May be, it is relevant to this question that, in the future,
53 I am going to employ the distributed compiling feature for
54 this and another Gentoo box on the same local network.
55
56 The additional my question is as follows:
57
58 What I am supposed to do in response to the "merge your config files
59 in /etc/ssh/" message above?
60
61 Thank you.
