Damien Miller6604fad2000-11-06 12:48:54 +11005This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other
Damien Miller5bbbd361999-11-19 07:56:21 +11006Unices.
Damien Millerd4a8b7e1999-10-27 13:42:43 +10007
Kevin Stevesbdb063d2001-02-24 09:00:23 +00008OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample
9implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to
10external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features
11reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by
12Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt,
13and Dug Song. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/

Damien Miller56825a11999-11-11 10:50:04 +110015This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
Damien Miller0736c4d2001-01-25 10:51:46 +110016support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements
17for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other
Damien Miller2047b3b2003-01-08 23:28:40 +110018unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, NetBSD,
19Irix and AIX. Support for SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway.
Damien Miller54057c22000-05-09 15:03:37 +100020This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
Damien Millerd4a8b7e1999-10-27 13:42:43 +100021
Damien Miller5ffa6441999-10-30 11:30:35 +100022The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
23commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
Damien Miller7df20e21999-11-12 16:06:47 +110024all logins, not just when using password authentication.

Damien Miller0736c4d2001-01-25 10:51:46 +110026OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5].

Kevin Stevesbdb063d2001-02-24 09:00:23 +000050This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD
51CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample
52implementation released by Tatu Ylonen.
