Kevin Stevesbdb063d2001-02-24 09:00:23 +0000[diff] [blame]8OpenSSH 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 +1100[diff] [blame]15This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
Damien Miller0736c4d2001-01-25 10:51:46 +1100[diff] [blame]16support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements
17for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other
Kevin Stevesbdb063d2001-02-24 09:00:23 +0000[diff] [blame]18unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, NetBSD
Damien Miller54057c22000-05-09 15:03:37 +1000[diff] [blame]19and Irix. Support for AIX, SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway.
20This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.

Damien Miller5ffa6441999-10-30 11:30:35 +1000[diff] [blame]22The 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 +1100[diff] [blame]24all logins, not just when using password authentication.

Damien Miller0736c4d2001-01-25 10:51:46 +1100[diff] [blame]26OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5].
