1 | This is a Linux port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH. |
| 8efc0c15 |
2 | |
| 97784962 |
3 | OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with |
| 4 | all patent-encumbered algorithms removed, all known security bugs |
| 5 | fixed, new features reintroduced and many other clean-ups. |

7 | This Linux port basically consists of a few fixes to deal with the way |
| 8 | that OpenSSL is usually installed on Linux systems, a few replacements |
| 69256d9d |
9 | for OpenBSD library functions and the introduction of PAM support. This |
| 10 | version tracks changes made to the OpenBSD CVS version. |

| 97784962 |
12 | The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of |
| 13 | commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for |
| 14 | all logins, not just when using password authentication. This code is |
| 9010d60a |
15 | very new and needs further testing. |

17 | All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very |
| 18 | liberal. This code is released with no warranties of any kind, |
| 19 | neither I nor my employer (Internet Business Solutions) will take any |
| 20 | responsibility for any loss, damage or liability arising from the use |
| 21 | or abuse of this software. The code in strlcpy.c and mktemp.c is from |
| 22 | the OpenBSD project and has its own license (see source file for |
| 23 | details). |

25 | OpenSSH depends on Zlib[1], OpenSSL[2] and optionally PAM[3]. |
| 26 | It now uses autoconf to build thanks to Dan Brosemer <odin@linuxfreak.com> |
