This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other
Unices.
-OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with
-all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to external libraries), all
-known security bugs fixed, new features reintroduced and many other
-clean-ups. More information about SSH itself can be found in the file
-README.Ylonen. OpenSSH has been created by Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck,
-Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, and Dug Song. It has a
