| 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 OpenBSD library functions and the introduction of PAM support. This |
| version tracks changes made to the OpenBSD CVS version. |
| |
| 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. The code in strlcpy.c and mktemp.c is from |
| the OpenBSD project and has its own license (see source file for |
| details). |
| |
| OpenSSH depends on Zlib[1], OpenSSL[2] and optionally PAM[3]. |
| It now uses autoconf to build thanks to Dan Brosemer <odin@linuxfreak.com> |
