This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other |
8 |
Unices. |
9 |
|
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 https://www.openssh.com/ |
16 |
|
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 |
FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris and UnixWare. |
22 |
|
23 |
This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. |
24 |
|
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. |
28 |
|
29 |
OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4], and optionally PAM[5] and |
30 |
libedit[6] |
31 |
|
32 |
There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please |
33 |
refer to https://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. |
34 |
|
35 |
Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list |
36 |
openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by unsubscribed |
37 |
users. Code contribution are welcomed, but please follow the OpenBSD |
38 |
style guidelines[7]. |
39 |
|
40 |
Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install |
41 |
OpenSSH on your system. |

Miscellania - |
46 |
|
47 |
This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD |
48 |
CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample |
49 |
implementation released by Tatu Ylonen. |
