This is the Unix port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH.
OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with
all patent-encumbered algorithms removed, all known security bugs
fixed, new features reintroduced and many other clean-ups.
This Linux port basically consists of a few fixes to deal with
the way that OpenSSL is usually installed on Linux systems, a few
replacements for OpenBSD library functions and the introduction of PAM
support. This version tracks changes made to the OpenBSD CVS version.
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 most
