Damien Miller5ffa6441999-10-30 11:30:35 +1000[diff] [blame]8OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with
Damien Millerf20c2aa2000-01-06 20:28:41 +1100[diff] [blame]9all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to external libraries), all
10known security bugs fixed, new features reintroduced and many other
11clean-ups. More information about SSH itself can be found in the file
12README.Ylonen. OpenSSH has been created by Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck,
13Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, and Dug Song. It has a
14homepage at http://www.openssh.com/

Damien Miller56825a11999-11-11 10:50:04 +1100[diff] [blame]16This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
Damien Miller54057c22000-05-09 15:03:37 +1000[diff] [blame]17support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1] support and replacements for
18OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other
19unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HPUX, NetBSD
20and Irix. Support for AIX, SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway.
21This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.

Damien Miller5ffa6441999-10-30 11:30:35 +1000[diff] [blame]23The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
24commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
Damien Miller7df20e21999-11-12 16:06:47 +1100[diff] [blame]25all logins, not just when using password authentication.
