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 partial PAM support.
|
|
|
|
The PAM support is less than optimal - it is only used when password
|
|
authentication is requested, so things like pam_limits will not apply if a
|
|
user authenticates with a RSA key. OTOH this is exactly the level of support
|
|
that the popular Linux SSH packages have. Perhaps a PAM hacker can rectify
|
|
this?
|
|
|
|
All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very liberal.
|
|
This code is released with no warranties of any kind, neither I nor my
|
|
employer (Internet Business Solutions) will take any responsibility for
|
|
any loss, damage or liability arising from the use or abuse of this software.
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH depends on Zlib, OpenSSL and PAM. Use the Makefile.GNU to build it.

This version of SSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD CVS
|
|
repository on 1999-10-26, which in turn was based on the last free
|
|
version of SSH released by Tatu Ylonen.
