Did you overwrite the OBSD OpenSSL or install in a
different location?  'which openssl' and 'find / -name openssl -ls'
will help you if you're not sure.

I'd personally recommend installing in a
different location and linking your apps to
the new one explictly.  Doesn't help openssh
though, unless you install the portable version
and tell it where to look for openssl, or
hack the makefile.  :)
