Wait, you used freebsd-update on a machine running stable? It only supports
releases. IOW you may well have *downgraded* the machine in some sense.
(Although really it should have just failed in that case.)

Also make sure you are not using an sshd from ports; even if such a
down/sidegrade works for base, I'd expect it to screw up installed ports.
