# Portable OpenSSH
|
||||
See https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html#8.0p1 for the release notes.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSSH is a complete implementation of the SSH protocol (version 2) for secure remote login, command execution and file transfer. It includes a client ``ssh`` and server ``sshd``, file transfer utilities ``scp`` and ``sftp`` as well as tools for key generation (``ssh-keygen``), run-time key storage (``ssh-agent``) and a number of supporting programs.
|
||||
Please read https://www.openssh.com/report.html for bug reporting
|
||||
instructions and note that we do not use Github for bug reporting or
|
||||
patch/pull-request management.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a port of OpenBSD's [OpenSSH](https://openssh.com) to most Unix-like operating systems, including Linux, OS X and Cygwin. Portable OpenSSH polyfills OpenBSD APIs that are not available elsewhere, adds sshd sandboxing for more operating systems and includes support for OS-native authentication and auditing (e.g. using PAM).
|
||||
This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other
|
||||
Unices.
|
||||
|
||||
## Documentation
|
||||
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 https://www.openssh.com/
|
||||
|
||||
The official documentation for OpenSSH are the man pages for each tool:
|
||||
This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
|
||||
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,
|
||||
FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris and UnixWare.

|
||||
This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
|
||||
|
||||
## Stable Releases
|
||||
The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
|
||||
commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
|
||||
all logins, not just when using password authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
Stable release tarballs are available from a number of [download mirrors](https://www.openssh.com/portable.html#downloads). We recommend the use of a stable release for most users. Please read the [release notes](https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html) for details of recent changes and potential incompatibilities.
|
||||
OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4], and optionally PAM[5] and
|
||||
libedit[6]
|
||||
|
||||
## Building Portable OpenSSH
|
||||
There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please
|
||||
refer to https://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join.
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies
|
||||
Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list
|
||||
openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by unsubscribed
|
||||
users. Code contribution are welcomed, but please follow the OpenBSD
|
||||
style guidelines[7].
|
||||
|
||||
Portable OpenSSH is built using autoconf and make. It requires a working C compiler, standard library and headers, as well as [zlib](https://www.zlib.net/) and ``libcrypto`` from either [LibreSSL](https://www.libressl.org/) or [OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org) to build. Certain platforms and build-time options may require additional dependencies.
|
||||
Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install
|
||||
OpenSSH on your system.
|
||||
|
||||
### Building a release
|
||||
Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>
|
||||
|
||||
Releases include a pre-built copy of the ``configure`` script and may be built using:
|
||||
Miscellania -
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
tar zxvf openssh-X.Y.tar.gz
|
||||
cd openssh
|
||||
./configure # [options]
|
||||
make && make tests
|
||||
```
|
||||
This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD
|
||||
CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample
|
||||
implementation released by Tatu Ylonen.
|
||||
|
||||
See the [Build-time Customisation](#build-time-customisation) section below for configure options. If you plan on installing OpenSSH to your system, then you will usually want to specify destination paths.
|
||||
|
||||
### Building from git
|
||||
References -
|
||||
|
||||
If building from git, you'll need [autoconf](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/) installed to build the ``configure`` script. The following commands will check out and build portable OpenSSH from git:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable # or https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git
|
||||
cd openssh-portable
|
||||
autoreconf
|
||||
./configure
|
||||
make && make tests
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Build-time Customisation
|
||||
|
||||
There are many build-time customisation options available. All Autoconf destination path flags (e.g. ``--prefix``) are supported (and are usually required if you want to install OpenSSH).
|
||||
|
||||
For a full list of available flags, run ``configure --help`` but a few of the more frequently-used ones are described below. Some of these flags will require additional libraries and/or headers be installed.
|
||||
|
||||
Flag | Meaning
|
||||
--- | ---
|
||||
``--with-pam`` | Enable [PAM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluggable_authentication_module) support. [OpenPAM](https://www.openpam.org/), [Linux PAM](http://www.linux-pam.org/) and Solaris PAM are supported.
|
||||
``--with-libedit`` | Enable [libedit](https://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/) support for sftp.
|
||||
``--with-kerberos5`` | Enable Kerberos/GSSAPI support. Both [Heimdal](https://www.h5l.org/) and [MIT](https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/) Kerberos implementations are supported.
|
||||
``--with-selinux`` | Enable [SELinux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux) support.
|
||||
|
||||
## Development
|
||||
|
||||
Portable OpenSSH development is discussed on the [openssh-unix-dev mailing list](https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev) ([archive mirror](https://marc.info/?l=openssh-unix-dev)). Bugs and feature requests are tracked on our [Bugzilla](https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Reporting bugs
|
||||
|
||||
_Non-security_ bugs may be reported to the developers via [Bugzilla](https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/) or via the mailing list above. Security bugs should be reported to [openssh@openssh.com](mailto:openssh.openssh.com).
