This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other
10
OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample
11
implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to
12
external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features
13
reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by
14
Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt,
15
and Dug Song. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/
17
This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
18
support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements
19
for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other
20
unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, NetBSD,
21
Irix and AIX. Support for SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway.
22
This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
24
The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
25
commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
26
all logins, not just when using password authentication.
28
OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5].
30
There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please
31
refer to http://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join.
33
Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list
34
openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by
37
If you are a citizen of an USA-embargoed country to which export of
38
cryptographic products is restricted, then please refrain from sending
39
crypto-related code or patches to the list. We cannot accept them.
40
Other code contribution are accepted, but please follow the OpenBSD
43
Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install
44
OpenSSH on your system. There are a number of differences between this
45
port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x, please refer to the OpenSSH FAQ[7]
46
for details and general tips.

52
This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD
53
CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample
54
implementation released by Tatu Ylonen.
