+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
-homepage at http://www.openssh.com/

This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
-support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1] support, SOCKS support (using
-the Dante [6] libraries and replacements for OpenBSD library functions
-that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port has been
-best tested on Linux, Solaris, HPUX, NetBSD and Irix. Support for AIX,
-SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway. This version actively tracks
-changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.

+NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris, Unicos, and UnixWare.

+This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
all logins, not just when using password authentication.
-All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very
-liberal. Please refer to the source files for details. The code in
-bsd-*.[ch] is from the OpenBSD project and has its own license (again,
-see the source files for details).

-OpenSSH depends on Zlib[2], OpenSSL[3] and optionally PAM[4] and
-Dante[6]. To build the GNOME[5] pass-phrase requester
-(--with-gnome-askpass), you will need the GNOME libraries installed.
-If you are building OpenSSH on a Unix which lacks a kernel random
-number pool (/dev/random), you will need to install EGD[1].
