Damien Miller6604fad2000-11-06 12:48:54 +1100[diff] [blame]7This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other
Damien Miller5bbbd361999-11-19 07:56:21 +1100[diff] [blame]8Unices.

Kevin Stevesbdb063d2001-02-24 09:00:23 +0000[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 http://www.openssh.com/

Damien Miller56825a11999-11-11 10:50:04 +1100[diff] [blame]17This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
Damien Millera8e06ce2003-11-21 23:48:55 +1100[diff] [blame]18support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements
19for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other
20unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, NetBSD,
21Irix and AIX. Support for SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway.
Damien Miller54057c22000-05-09 15:03:37 +1000[diff] [blame]22This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.

Damien Miller5ffa6441999-10-30 11:30:35 +1000[diff] [blame]24The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
25commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
Damien Miller7df20e21999-11-12 16:06:47 +1100[diff] [blame]26all logins, not just when using password authentication.

Damien Miller0736c4d2001-01-25 10:51:46 +1100[diff] [blame]28OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5].
