Damien Miller | 6604fad | 2000-11-06 12:48:54 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 11 | This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other |

Kevin Steves | bdb063d | 2001-02-24 09:00:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample |
| 15 | implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to |
| 16 | external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features |
| 17 | reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by |
| 18 | Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, |
Darren Tucker | 6d49ae8 | 2016-10-21 05:22:55 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | and Dug Song. It has a homepage at https://www.openssh.com/ |

Damien Miller | 56825a1 | 1999-11-11 10:50:04 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM |
Tim Rice | 5287902 | 2004-06-27 20:50:35 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | support, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library |
| 23 | functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port |
| 24 | has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X, |
Darren Tucker | b6973fa | 2018-02-15 22:22:38 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris and UnixWare. |

Damien Miller | 5ffa644 | 1999-10-30 11:30:35 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of |
| 30 | commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for |
Damien Miller | 7df20e2 | 1999-11-12 16:06:47 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | all logins, not just when using password authentication. |

Damien Miller | 6c1fbd5 | 2017-07-21 14:24:26 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4], and optionally PAM[5] and |
