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 sample
implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to
external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features
reintroduced and many other clean-ups. 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
2004-06-28 03:50:35 +00:00
support, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library
functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port
has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X,
NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris, Unicos, and UnixWare.
2000-05-09 05:03:37 +00:00
This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
1999-10-27 03:42:43 +00:00
The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
1999-11-12 05:06:47 +00:00
all logins, not just when using password authentication.
1999-10-27 03:42:43 +00:00
OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5].

2000-01-06 09:28:41 +00:00
