How to determine the version of sshd

[Michael K. Smith]

If you type 'sshd -v' you will get an error telling you it's not supported,
but at the top of the output, it will show you the version.  :-)

mksmith at cyclops(mksmith)$ sshd -v
sshd: illegal option -- v

Usage: sshd [options]
Options:

ssh has the -V switch to display the version.

sshd does not appear to have similar functionality.  Is there a way to
verify
the version of sshd running on a FreeBSD system?
