e93ee87a | 6 | * On systmes which lack a /dev/random driver, version of this port |
7 | * prior to 1.2.2 were not correctly seeding OpenSSL's random number | |
e21f1caa | 8 | * pool. This resulted in lower quality RSA keys being generated. If |
e93ee87a | 9 | * you generated host or user keys with v1.2.2 or previous versions, |
10 | * please generate new ones using a more recent version. | |

06479889 | 12 | This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH to Linux and other |
13 | Unices. | |
8efc0c15 | 14 | |
97784962 | 15 | OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with |
1cbe6fb2 | 16 | all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to external libraries), all |
17 | known security bugs fixed, new features reintroduced and many other | |
18 | clean-ups. More information about SSH itself can be found in the file | |
19 | README.Ylonen. OpenSSH has been created by Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, | |
20 | Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, and Dug Song. It has a | |
21 | homepage at http://www.openssh.com/ | |
8efc0c15 | 22 | |
4f6716dc | 23 | This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM |
e93ee87a | 24 | support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1] support and replacements for |
25 | OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other | |
26 | unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HPUX, NetBSD | |
27 | and Irix. Support for AIX, SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway. | |
28 | This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. | |
8efc0c15 | 29 | |
97784962 | 30 | The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of |
31 | commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for | |
4ae1982f | 32 | all logins, not just when using password authentication. |
8efc0c15 | 33 | |
e93ee87a | 34 | OpenSSH depends on Zlib[2], OpenSSL[3] and optionally PAM[4]. |

1cbe6fb2 | 36 | There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please |
a905808d | 37 | refer to http://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. |

1cbe6fb2 | 39 | Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list |
40 | openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is currently open to posting by | |
41 | unsubscribed users. | |

8bc7973f | 43 | Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install |
1cbe6fb2 | 44 | OpenSSH on your system. The UPGRADING document details differences |
45 | between this port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x. | |

97784962 | 50 | Miscellania - |
8efc0c15 | 51 | |
97784962 | 52 | This version of SSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD CVS |
1cbe6fb2 | 53 | repository which in turn was based on the last free |
4f080ebe | 54 | version of SSH released by Tatu Ylonen. |
