This is a Linux 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.

support. This version tracks changes made to the OpenBSD CVS version.
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. This code is
very new and needs further testing.

OpenSSH depends on Zlib[1], OpenSSL[2] and optionally PAM[3]. To build
the GNOME[1] passphrase requestor (--with-gnome-askpass), you will
need the GNOME libraries installed.
To build OpenSSH, use the configure script provided. For example:
./configure --prefix=/opt/openssh
make
make install
Will install the OpenSSH binaries in /opt/openssh/bin, the
configuration files in /opt/openssh/etc, and so forth.
