1058582Skris
1198937SdesThis is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other
1298937SdesUnices.
1358582Skris
1498937SdesOpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample
1598937Sdesimplementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to
1698937Sdesexternal libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features
1798937Sdesreintroduced and many other clean-ups.  OpenSSH has been created by
1898937SdesAaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt,
1998937Sdesand Dug Song. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/
2057429Smarkm
2198937SdesThis port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
22137015Sdessupport, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library
23137015Sdesfunctions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port
24137015Sdeshas been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X,
25137015SdesNetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris, Unicos, and UnixWare.
26137015Sdes
2798937SdesThis version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
2857429Smarkm
2998937SdesThe PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
3098937Sdescommercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
3198937Sdesall logins, not just when using password authentication.
3257429Smarkm
3398937SdesOpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5].
3498937Sdes
