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

12 | This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH to Linux and other | |
13 | Unices. | |
14 | ||
15 | OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with | |
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/ | |
22 | ||
23 | This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM | |
24 | support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1] support, SOCKS support (using | |
25 | the Dante [6] libraries and replacements for OpenBSD library functions | |
26 | that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port has been | |
27 | best tested on Linux, Solaris, HPUX, NetBSD and Irix. Support for AIX, | |
28 | SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway. This version actively tracks | |
29 | changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. | |
30 | ||
31 | The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of | |
32 | commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for | |
33 | all logins, not just when using password authentication. | |
34 | ||
35 | All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very | |
36 | liberal. Please refer to the source files for details. The code in | |
37 | bsd-*.[ch] is from the OpenBSD project and has its own license (again, | |
38 | see the source files for details). | |
39 | ||
40 | OpenSSH depends on Zlib[2], OpenSSL[3] and optionally PAM[4] and | |
41 | Dante[6]. To build the GNOME[5] pass-phrase requester | |
42 | (--with-gnome-askpass), you will need the GNOME libraries installed. | |
43 | If you are building OpenSSH on a Unix which lacks a kernel random | |
44 | number pool (/dev/random), you will need to install EGD[1]. | |
45 | ||
46 | There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please | |
47 | refer to http://violet.ibs.com.au/openssh/list.html for details on how | |
48 | to join. | |
49 | ||
50 | Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list | |
51 | openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is currently open to posting by | |
52 | unsubscribed users. | |
53 | ||
54 | Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install | |
55 | OpenSSH on your system. The UPGRADING document details differences | |
56 | between this port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x. | |

61 | Miscellania - | |
62 | ||
63 | This version of SSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD CVS | |
64 | repository which in turn was based on the last free | |
65 | version of SSH released by Tatu Ylonen. | |
66 | ||
67 | Code in bsd-misc.[ch] and gnome-ssh-askpass.c is Copyright 1999 Damien | |
68 | Miller & Internet Business Solutions and is released under a X11-style | |
69 | license (see source files for details). | |
