| |
| 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 https://www.openssh.com/ |
| |
| This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM |
| support, 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 AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X, |
| FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris and UnixWare. |
| |
| 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] and |
| libedit[6] |
| |
| There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please |
| refer to https://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. Code contribution are welcomed, but please follow the OpenBSD |
| style guidelines[7]. |
| |
| Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install |
| OpenSSH on your system. |

| 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. |
