7 This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other
10 OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample
11 implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to
12 external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features
13 reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by
14 Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt,
15 and Dug Song. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/
17 This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
18 support, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library
19 functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port
20 has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X,
21 NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris, Unicos, and UnixWare.
23 This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
25 The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
26 commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
27 all logins, not just when using password authentication.
29 OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5].
31 There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please
32 refer to http://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join.
34 Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list
35 openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by
36 unsubscribed users.Code contribution are welcomed, but please follow the
37 OpenBSD style guidelines[6].
39 Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install
40 OpenSSH on your system. There are a number of differences between this
41 port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x, please refer to the OpenSSH FAQ[7]
42 for details and general tips.

48 This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD
49 CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample
50 implementation released by Tatu Ylonen.
