Damien Miller | 5d3127d | 2019-04-05 11:29:31 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 7 | This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other |
| 8 | Unices. |

Damien Miller | 5d3127d | 2019-04-05 11:29:31 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample |
| 11 | implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to |
| 12 | external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features |
| 13 | reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by |
| 14 | Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, |
| 15 | and Dug Song. It has a homepage at https://www.openssh.com/ |

Damien Miller | 5d3127d | 2019-04-05 11:29:31 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM |
| 18 | support, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library |
| 19 | functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port |
| 20 | has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X, |
| 21 | FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris and UnixWare. |

Damien Miller | 5d3127d | 2019-04-05 11:29:31 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 23 | This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. |

Damien Miller | 5d3127d | 2019-04-05 11:29:31 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of |
| 26 | commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for |
| 27 | all logins, not just when using password authentication. |

Damien Miller | 5d3127d | 2019-04-05 11:29:31 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4], and optionally PAM[5] and |
| 30 | libedit[6] |
