| |
| This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other |
| Unices. |
| |
| OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample |
| implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to |
| external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features |
| reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by |
| Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, |
| and Dug Song. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/ |
| |
| This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM |
| support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements |
| for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other |
| unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, NetBSD, |
| Irix and AIX. Support for SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway. |
| This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5]. |
| |
| There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please |
| refer to http://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. |
| |
| Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list |
| openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by |
| unsubscribed users. |
| |
| If you are a citizen of an USA-embargoed country to which export of |
| cryptographic products is restricted, then please refrain from sending |
| crypto-related code or patches to the list. We cannot accept them. |
| Other code contribution are accepted, but please follow the OpenBSD |
| style guidelines[6]. |
| |
| Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install |
| OpenSSH on your system. There are a number of differences between this |
| port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x, please refer to the OpenSSH FAQ[7] |
| for details and general tips. |

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