This is a Linux port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH.
-OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with all
-patent-encumbered algorithms removed, all known security bugs fixed, new
-features reintroduced and many other clean-ups.

-This Linux port basically consists of a few fixes to deal with the way that
-OpenSSL is usually installed on Linux systems, a few replacements for

+This Linux port basically consists of a few fixes to deal with the way
+that OpenSSL is usually installed on Linux systems, a few replacements

+support.
-The PAM support is less than optimal - it is only used when password
-authentication is requested, so things like pam_limits will not apply if a
-user authenticates with a RSA key. OTOH this is exactly the level of support
-that the popular Linux SSH packages have. Perhaps a PAM hacker can rectify
-this?
+The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
+commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
+all logins, not just when using password authentication. This code is
+very new and needs further testing. I have also added basic libpwdb
+support (detected by autoconf).
-All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very liberal.
-This code is released with no warranties of any kind, neither I nor my
-employer (Internet Business Solutions) will take any responsibility for
-any loss, damage or liability arising from the use or abuse of this software.
