| 7 | This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other |
| 8 | Unices. |
| 9 | |
| 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/ |
| 16 | |
| 17 | This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM |
| 18 | support, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library |
| 19 | functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port |
| 20 | has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X, |
| 21 | NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris, Unicos, and UnixWare. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of |
| 26 | commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for |
| 27 | all logins, not just when using password authentication. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5]. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please |
| 32 | refer to http://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list |
| 35 | openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by |
| 36 | unsubscribed users.Code contribution are welcomed, but please follow the |
| 37 | OpenBSD style guidelines[6]. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install |
| 40 | OpenSSH on your system. There are a number of differences between this |
| 41 | port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x, please refer to the OpenSSH FAQ[7] |
| 42 | for details and general tips. |

| 46 | Miscellania - |
| 47 | |
| 48 | This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD |
| 49 | CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample |
| 50 | implementation released by Tatu Ylonen. |
