Damien Miller5ffa6441999-10-30 11:30:35 +1000[diff] [blame]3OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with
4all patent-encumbered algorithms removed, all known security bugs
5fixed, new features reintroduced and many other clean-ups.

Damien Miller74389c91999-11-09 15:03:01 +1100[diff] [blame^]7This Linux port basically consists of a few fixes to deal with
8the way that OpenSSL is usually installed on Linux systems, a few
9replacements for OpenBSD library functions and the introduction of PAM
10support. This version tracks changes made to the OpenBSD CVS version.

Damien Miller5ffa6441999-10-30 11:30:35 +1000[diff] [blame]12The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
13commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
14all logins, not just when using password authentication. This code is
Damien Miller74389c91999-11-09 15:03:01 +1100[diff] [blame^]15very new and needs further testing.

Damien Miller5ffa6441999-10-30 11:30:35 +1000[diff] [blame]17All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very
Damien Miller74389c91999-11-09 15:03:01 +1100[diff] [blame^]18liberal. Please refer to the source files for details. The code in
19strlcpy.c and mktemp.c is from the OpenBSD project and has its own
20license (again, see source file for details).

Damien Miller74389c91999-11-09 15:03:01 +1100[diff] [blame^]22OpenSSH depends on Zlib[1], OpenSSL[2] and optionally PAM[3]. To build
23the GNOME[1] passphrase requestor (--with-gnome-askpass), you will
24need the GNOME libraries installed.

26To build OpenSSH, use the configure script provided. For example:

28./configure --prefix=/opt/openssh
29make
30make install
