hmm, some of those blasterware mirrors are out of date, I had to check few 
before I found the fresh one.
and cfengine has dependencies. so my install is delayed  a little... I have SMC 
openssl pkg that is used by openssh and others,
I'm not sure they won't conflict or if it's good idea at all to install same 
repackaged stuff over and over...

PKGname Software name   Description
CSWossl         openssl         OpenSSL Secure Sockets Layer lib and utilities
CSWcommon       common  Installs some useful standard CSW filesystem symlinks 
and files
CSWbdb3         berkeleydb3     file based pseudo-database library
