8 | This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other | |
9 | Unices. | |
10 | ||
11 | OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample | |
12 | implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to | |
13 | external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features | |
14 | reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by | |
15 | Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, | |
16 | and Dug Song. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/ | |
17 | ||
18 | This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM | |
416fd2a8 | 19 | support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements |
20 | for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other | |
21 | unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, NetBSD, | |
22 | Irix and AIX. Support for SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway. | |
3c0ef626 | 23 | This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. |
24 | ||
25 | The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of | |
26 | commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for | |
27 | all logins, not just when using password authentication. | |
28 | ||
29 | OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5]. | |
30 | ||
31 | There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please | |
32 | refer to http://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. | |
33 | ||
34 | Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list | |
35 | openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by | |
36 | unsubscribed users. | |
37 | ||
416fd2a8 | 38 | If you are a citizen of an USA-embargoed country to which export of |
39 | cryptographic products is restricted, then please refrain from sending | |
3c0ef626 | 40 | crypto-related code or patches to the list. We cannot accept them. |
41 | Other code contribution are accepted, but please follow the OpenBSD | |
42 | style guidelines[6]. | |
43 | ||
44 | Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install | |
416fd2a8 | 45 | OpenSSH on your system. There are a number of differences between this |
3c0ef626 | 46 | port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x, please refer to the OpenSSH FAQ[7] |
47 | for details and general tips. | |

416fd2a8 | 51 | Miscellania - |
3c0ef626 | 52 | |
53 | This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD | |
54 | CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample | |
55 | implementation released by Tatu Ylonen. | |
