| Damien Miller | 29b5a59 | 1999-10-28 15:46:27 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 3 | OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with |
| 4 | all patent-encumbered algorithms removed, all known security bugs |
| 5 | fixed, new features reintroduced and many other clean-ups. |

| Damien Miller | 29b5a59 | 1999-10-28 15:46:27 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 7 | This Linux port basically consists of a few fixes to deal with the way |
| 8 | that OpenSSL is usually installed on Linux systems, a few replacements |
| 9 | for OpenBSD library functions and the introduction of partial PAM |
| 10 | support. |

| Damien Miller | 29b5a59 | 1999-10-28 15:46:27 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 12 | The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of |
| 13 | commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for |
| 14 | all logins, not just when using password authentication. This code is |
| 15 | very new and needs further testing. I have also added basic libpwdb |
| 16 | support (detected by autoconf). |

| Damien Miller | 29b5a59 | 1999-10-28 15:46:27 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 24 | OpenSSH depends on Zlib, OpenSSL and PAM and optionally libpwdb. It now |
| 25 | uses autoconf to build thanks to Dan Brosemer <odin@linuxfreak.com> |

| 41 | This version of SSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD CVS |
| Damien Miller | 34d0b61 | 1999-10-28 17:51:40 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 42 | repository on 1999-10-28 patched by Damien Miller <djm@ibs.com.au>, |
| Damien Miller | 29b5a59 | 1999-10-28 15:46:27 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 43 | which in turn was based on the last free version of SSH released by |
| 44 | Tatu Ylonen. |
