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, Solaris and
-HPUX, though support for AIX and Irix is underway. This version
-actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. This port
-also has optional support for using the Dante SOCKS library[6],
-version 1.1.1pre1 or later.
