This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1] support, and replacements
for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from
-other unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, though some
-Solaris support is beginning to filter in. 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
