The ports system uses a Makefile, I need to know how I would configure
this Makefile to load a host node , a slave node , and work with ssh.
Basically when you install a port in FreeBSD through the ports, it grabs
the tarball, the dependicies, and any FreeBSD patches that should be
applied.

I will contact the maintainer if I believe the problem is with the
default install procedure. At this point I do not know enough or
understand enough to be convinced the problem is with FreeBSD.
