Kevin Stevesbdb063d2001-02-24 09:00:23 +0000[diff] [blame]14OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample
15implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to
16external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features
17reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by

Damien Miller5ffa6441999-10-30 11:30:35 +1000[diff] [blame]29The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
30commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
Damien Miller7df20e21999-11-12 16:06:47 +1100[diff] [blame]31all logins, not just when using password authentication.
