-This package is the actual port of OpenSSH to Cygwin 1.5.
-
-===========================================================================
-Important change since 3.4p1-2:
-
-This version adds privilege separation as default setting, see
-/usr/doc/openssh/README.privsep. According to that document the
-privsep feature requires a non-privileged account called 'sshd'.
-
-The new ssh-host-config file which is part of this version asks
-to create 'sshd' as local user if you want to use privilege
-separation. If you confirm, it creates that NT user and adds
-the necessary entry to /etc/passwd.
-
-On 9x/Me systems the script just sets UsePrivilegeSeparation to "no"
-since that feature doesn't make any sense on a system which doesn't
-differ between privileged and unprivileged users.
-
-The new ssh-host-config script also adds the /var/empty directory
-needed by privilege separation. When creating the /var/empty directory
-by yourself, please note that in contrast to the README.privsep document
-the owner sshould not be "root" but the user which is running sshd. So,
-in the standard configuration this is SYSTEM. The ssh-host-config script
-chowns /var/empty accordingly.

-Important change since 3.0.1p1-2:
-
-This version introduces the ability to register sshd as service on
-Windows 9x/Me systems. This is done only when the options -D and/or
--d are not given.

+This package is the actual port of OpenSSH to Cygwin 1.3.
===========================================================================
Important change since 2.9p2:
If starting via inetd, copy sshd to eg. /usr/sbin/in.sshd and add the
following line to your inetd.conf file:
-ssh stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.sshd sshd -i
+sshd stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.sshd sshd -i
Moreover you'll have to add the following line to your
${SYSTEMROOT}/system32/drivers/etc/services file:
- ssh 22/tcp #SSH daemon
+ sshd 22/tcp #SSH daemon
===========================================================================
The following restrictions only apply to Cygwin versions up to 1.3.1
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
- --libexecdir='${exec_prefix}/sbin'
+ --libexecdir='${exec_prefix}/sbin \
+ --with-pcre
-You must have installed the zlib and openssl packages to be able to
-build OpenSSH!
+You must have installed the zlib, openssl and regex packages to
+be able to build OpenSSH! The `--with-pcre' option requires
+the installation of the pcre package.
