This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH to Linux and other
|
|
|
|
|
Unices.

OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with
|
|
|
|
|
all patent-encumbered algorithms removed, all known security bugs
|
1999-11-12 05:06:47 +00:00
|
|
|
fixed, new features reintroduced and many other clean-ups. More
|
|
|
|
|
information about SSH itself can be found in the file README.Ylonen.

OpenSSH has been created by Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl,
|
1999-11-17 22:28:11 +00:00
|
|
|
Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, and Dug Song. It has a homepage at
|
|

This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
|
1999-11-19 04:32:34 +00:00
|
|
|
support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1] support, and replacements
|
|
|
|
|
for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from
|
1999-12-28 04:09:35 +00:00
|
|
|
other unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris and
|
|
|
|
|
HPUX, though support for AIX and Irix is underway. This version
|
1999-12-30 04:50:54 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
|

|

|
|
|
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.

|
|
All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very
|
1999-11-09 04:03:01 +00:00
|
|
|
liberal. Please refer to the source files for details. The code in
|
1999-11-19 04:32:34 +00:00
|
|
|
bsd-*.[ch] is from the OpenBSD project and has its own license (again,
|
|
|
|
|
see the source files for details).

OpenSSH depends on Zlib[2], OpenSSL[3] and optionally PAM[4] and
|
|
|
|
|
Dante[6]. To build the GNOME[5] pass-phrase requester
|
|
|
|
|
(--with-gnome-askpass), you will need the GNOME libraries installed.
|
|
|
|
|
If you are building OpenSSH on a Unix which lacks a kernel random
|
|
|
|
|
number pool (/dev/random), you will need to install EGD[1].

There is now a mailing list for this port of OpenSSH. To
|
|
|
|
|
subscribe, send a message consisting of the word 'SUBSCRIBE' to
|
|
|
|
|
openssh-unix-dev-request@mindrot.org. This mailing list is intended
|
1999-11-16 02:45:26 +00:00
|
|
|
for developers who wish to improve on this port or extend it to other
|
|
|
|
|
Unices.

Please send bug reports to the mailing list, or to myself

OpenSSH on your system.

This patch is developed primarily on Linux, but I am including patches
|
1999-11-12 05:06:47 +00:00
|
|
|
which improve compatability with other unices. The beginnings of
|
|
|
|
|
Solaris support have already been included.

repository on 1999-11-09 which in turn was based on the last free

version of SSH released by Tatu Ylonen.
