d6846e6a | 7 | This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other |
06479889 | 8 | Unices. |
8efc0c15 | 9 | |
97ef15b7 | 10 | OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample |
11 | implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to | |
12 | external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features | |
13 | reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by | |
14 | Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, | |
15 | and Dug Song. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/ | |
8efc0c15 | 16 | |
4f6716dc | 17 | This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM |
aff51935 | 18 | support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements |
19 | for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other | |
20 | unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, NetBSD, | |
21 | Irix and AIX. Support for SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway. | |
e93ee87a | 22 | This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. |
8efc0c15 | 23 | |
97784962 | 24 | The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of |
25 | commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for | |
4ae1982f | 26 | all logins, not just when using password authentication. |
8efc0c15 | 27 | |
e1dd3a7a | 28 | OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5]. |

a905808d | 31 | refer to http://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. |

aff51935 | 37 | If you are a citizen of an USA-embargoed country to which export of |
38 | cryptographic products is restricted, then please refrain from sending | |
be0b9bb7 | 39 | crypto-related code or patches to the list. We cannot accept them. |
40 | Other code contribution are accepted, but please follow the OpenBSD | |
e1dd3a7a | 41 | style guidelines[6]. |

8bc7973f | 43 | Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install |
aff51935 | 44 | OpenSSH on your system. There are a number of differences between this |
e1dd3a7a | 45 | port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x, please refer to the OpenSSH FAQ[7] |
d6846e6a | 46 | for details and general tips. |

8efc0c15 | 51 | |
97ef15b7 | 52 | This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD |
53 | CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample | |
54 | implementation released by Tatu Ylonen. | |
