Damien Miller5d3127d2019-04-05 11:29:31 -0700[diff] [blame]7This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other
8Unices.

Damien Miller5d3127d2019-04-05 11:29:31 -0700[diff] [blame]10OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample
11implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to
12external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features
13reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by
14Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt,
15and Dug Song. It has a homepage at https://www.openssh.com/

Damien Miller5d3127d2019-04-05 11:29:31 -0700[diff] [blame]17This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
18support, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library
19functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port
20has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X,
21FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris and UnixWare.

Damien Miller5d3127d2019-04-05 11:29:31 -0700[diff] [blame]25The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
26commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
27all logins, not just when using password authentication.

Damien Miller5d3127d2019-04-05 11:29:31 -0700[diff] [blame]29OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4], and optionally PAM[5] and
30libedit[6]
