FreeBSD 4-STABLE as of 2002-07-30 22:04:59 UTC is running OpenSSL
0.9.6e. Please see [1].

Perhaps it's time to update your /usr/src tree? All advisories are
listed at [2].

cfengine 1.6.3 is the current version in the ports tree [3]. You may
want to contact the maintainer (see the Makefile), and ask him to
also include version 2.x (perhaps under sysutils/cfengine2 ?).
